What did folks think about this one?

I really liked the school a lot. The building, which generally receives negative feedback, really didn't bother me. The faculty and student body seemed awesome.

+1. It seemed pretty great, the only thing is Boston doesn't seem to have much nightlife if you aren't into bars/sports (caveat: this is from my 3 days total in Boston, so I could be completely wrong)

This is why it is important to talk to current students before you come. There is an excellent nightlife, but you have to know where to look.

I dunno about that, the museums and arts were talked up amongst those I spoke to. Plus, there's probably a lot more going on outside of the winter months (Nov-Early March)

Where would you recommend? I'll be going to the Preview Day on 3/25 and would love some tips on places to check out, nightlife or otherwise. Thanks in advance!

Did anyone else worry that the students they lined up for us weren't exactly representative of the student body? It seemed like they brought out the all star team - which is to be expected - but I wonder what the experiences of most students are like.

Overall, I was very impressed. If they come through with some $$, I think it is my frontrunner.
