Thanks! Are you going to BU? If so, what borough do you plan to stay in?

I'm starting at BU this fall for a Ph.D. in History. I haven't visited the campus yet but I hear the Charles River Campus is great, not to mention the city in general.

I am starting a Ph.D. at BU in September and have a couple of questions regarding where to live. How far and accessible is Jamaica Plain from BU? I don't want to ride the T for 2 hours everyday so perhaps J.P. is out of the question. Also, do many graduate students live in Brookline or is it mostly populated with undergraduates? Any helpful input would be appreciated. Thanks.
