That's ok, I'm a bit of a craigslist savant, so it's a bit aberrant It's also the deal of the century, possibly because our landlord lives in Marblehead and has apparently failed to check the market rate for rent in Boston for several years. Technically, my rent is $433, and the landlord pays half of our utilities, making the grand total of $500. Just to rub it in, my room is actually not a coffin either But, you are right, 650$ is a lot less than many many people are paying for rent in Beantown, so you got a good deal!matty wrote:Holy shit that's an amazing deal! Now you're making me pissed because I thought I got a steal paying $650 w/ no utilities (of course, $650 still ain't bad compared to what most people are paying from what I've heard).belligerentfuture wrote:I managed to get a place for $500 a month including all bills with parking that was happy to have my cats and my vegan eating habits, so it can be done!!

The place was crowded as hell, but we wound up getting a seat in the bar after a while and ordered there. I don't know what band they had on that night, but they were pretty damn good.... or maybe I was just pretty damn drunk?etudiantededroit wrote:Let's see...if you feel like hopping on the Silver line and heading over to the South End, I'd recommend Toro (a great little tapas bar with tasty sangria), the South End Buttery (bakery upstairs, delicious restaurant downstairs), or Petit Robert Bistro (good French bistro fare at a reasonable price). If it's nice out, you could check out the waterfront -- some fun options there include the Barking Crab (a fun bar/seafood restaurant right on the water), or Sel de la Terre (a French restaurant by the Aquarium with delicious steak frites).7wood wrote:I'm heading up to Boston this weekend to try and find a place to live. The gf is gonna be in tow, so does anyone have any good restaurant or bar recommendations? We'll be staying downtown near Tremont and Kneeland, so something downtownish would be good.
The Globe has a bunch of restaurant/bar recommendations, if that helps: http://www.boston.com/ae/restaurants/
And I did wind up finding a place to live. I can move in any time between now and the end of August, but I think I'm gonna work a week longer than I originally planned and start the move up around the 22nd. I'm excited about moving up to Boston, just not excited about the 27ish hour drive... ugh.
Yay, glad you liked the Crab! I used to work across the street from there, and it's a great place to be on a summer night.

edit: answered my own question
are you all planning on getting your books online or in the bookstore? I'd like to order mine used but I'm worried my section will change and I'll be stuck with some books. Thoughts?

You can see all of the section booklists on that webpage, not just your own section. Off the top of my head, there are several common books-usually the casebooks, but you can cross reference them for accuracy.SpAcEmAn SpLiFF wrote:are there any books that are common to all sections? id like to buy those online, if there are any...kiwislug wrote:edit: answered my own question

Section 1 is totally different from section 2 but there are a few similarities from both to section 3. so it's still a crap shoot...belligerentfuture wrote:You can see all of the section booklists on that webpage, not just your own section.

Umm, I hope not. I don't remember anyone telling us to dress up. If it turns out we are supposed to dress up, you and me can hang out in the corner together cause I won't be dressed up either.belligerentfuture wrote:Ok....dumb question, but just thought I'd check so as not to have a first day of school epic fail.

Re: THE Boston College class of 2012
Hey 2012ers! Did anyone hear any news about our spring electives? I can't seem to find it listed anywhere, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place? I was hoping to buy my casebooks online again, but if they cut it too close I guess I'll have to go to the bookstore after all.

Anyone still on here? Curious if some of you could give me the reasons you chose BC. I am leaning towards BC and would like to hear other student's reasons for choosing to attend.
Thanks!
