Okay, this might be considered spam (sorry if it is) but I am on the lookout for potential Grad Schools, and one of those is Boston University. I was hoping to find out what it's like over yonder on the East Coast. I visited Boston earlier this year and I have been checking out the classifieds for apartments (which are freaking EXPENSIVE!!!!) in Boston. So, what's it like? Is there actually affordable housing in the area? What should I know about the area/state/etc?

Thanks all!
