It might be better to report it as RPH. Then you don't have to convert to mRPM, which is a little less intuitive (what is a 1,000th of a refresh? haha) That being said, i'm at about 4 RPH, which converts to about .067 RPM, or 67 mRPM.

I went to BU for undergrad, and am currently living within walking distance of Harvard. The best option for what you're looking for would be Allston. It's one of the less expensive neighborhoods in Boston, it's walking distance from BU, and there's a bus going straight from Allston to Harvard to see your friends. Of course, every rose has its thorn...Allston has a well-earned reputation of being trashy and filled with drunk, drugged-up college kids. While this is all true, there's a lot to like about Allston! There are lots of great (and diverse) restaurants, every convenience you need is at your fingertips (laundry, supermarket, ATMs, etc), and it's honestly not that trashy. It's not the classiest place to spend a Friday night, but it's perfectly fine for living purposes. BUT A WORD OF CAUTION: DO NOT LIVE IN "LOWER ALLSTON"! Public transportation (and civilization) is almost non-existent there. You want to live as close as you can to one of the following streets: Commonwealth Ave, Brighton Ave, and Harvard Ave.

Haha awesome! I saw the second one YEARS ago and I never thought I would find it again (finding a specific Simpsons clip among 23 seasons is LITERALLY finding a needle in a haystack). I never saw the first or last one though...thanks for posting this! So you're already in grad school? Can you attest to the accuracy of the clip?

I applied for Fall 2012, and it is one of my top two choices. I've checked the results from previous years, and it seems like they usually send out acceptances AND rejections by now... I know that there are about 4 applicants to this program each year (and at this point I've probably been rejected)...but if anyone has heard anything, please let me know!
