nk26 Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 I'm not sure about street cleanings, probably not..but there may be parking bans for when it snows in the winter. And as for parking in front of your apt it may be difficult to always find a spot open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbscoops20 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 Hey everyone, I have been accepted and will be attending in September: very anxious to get going and to get to know everyone in the class. I have been living in the Boston area for the past 4 years and may be able to help some of you who are unfamiliar with the area with some questions. As far as commuting to campus by car, it is not feasable according to the MCPHS web site (there are no designated parking lots for students, only metered spots and parking garages in the area). I'm going to look for places in the Mission Hill area as well, hopefully with another student or two to mitigate the cost as Boston is pricey. You definitely want to be near the T (preferably green "E" line) for an easy commute....I will say the rental market down here has already picked up for september and you def. don't want to wait until summer to nail down a place or you won't have much of a choice as Northeastern and Wentworth are in the area and most students try to find a place early. Again, look forward to meeting you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbscoops20 Posted February 5, 2014 Share Posted February 5, 2014 and you def. have to pay attention to street cleaning and parking bans, but you can get a parking permit and park on the street in the mission hill area and the other neighborhoods in Boston.

aimyhtixela Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 @jbscoops20 do you know if Boston has apartment renting agencies? I know some big cities have them for no fee. I'm currently in contact with a broker but I'm not sure if there are other options. Craigslist seems to be a bust especially because I'm coming from out-of-state.

bryanapark Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I remember hearing one of the admisisons team members mention starting a facebook page, however, it would not hurt for us to start one too. I think facebook will be a better means of communicating logistics and certainly a better way to get to know one another. To start a facebook group you need to add a person to the group (other than the creator) for facebook to acknowledge it as a group; so if anyone would like to friend me (Bryana Park) or give me a name so I can friend you, I don't mind creating the page! I look forward to meeting all of you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbscoops20 Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 ikedamei, boston has a rediculous amount of realtors and yes most of them have fees. I have found places on craigslist ( and you can find no fee or half fee places) but it takes more time as you have to sift through a ton of junk. If you go with a realtor, at least you can zip around and see a few places in a day.....and never trust pictures of course without getting a real live look at the place.

Kpknudsen Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 yay! so excited that someone finally started a fb group! I asked to join.. Can't wait to meet you all/I also need to find roommates!! Coming from Baltimore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
o0lancerev0o Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 Does anyone know what the deadline is for making decision's on acceptance offers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kpknudsen Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 So you would have to ask the program. MCPHS put it in my acceptance letter when I had to give them my deposit by to keep my spot (I think mine was 2 weeks). So if you received an acceptance letter, just re-read it and if you don't see it then call them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jalexander Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I was recently accepted to the MCPHS PA program in Boston. I am trying to find roommates. I am moving all the way from Florida so I have no clue about Boston. I found a realtor but I am still looking for roommates. So if anyone is also looking for a roommate(s) please let me know!

Does anyone remember if they said when we would hear about the next steps (start date, books, orientation, immunizations, etc? ) other than fafsa? I submitted the fafsa to them and the deposit and haven't heard anything since Jan.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
