A Word on our City and Country Guides

Our guides are simple introductions to the cities we think students are most likely to go to school. In the US, we focused on the following cities: New York, Boston, Washington DC, San Francisco and Chicago. Outside the US, we focused on Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane), Spain (Madrid and Salamanca), United Kingdom (London and Oxford), Japan (Tokyo), France (Paris) and Switzerland (Lausanne).

We asked students who lived and studied in these cities to share their insights and tips on how to survive in their respective cities. If you want a more comprehensive guide - feel free to check out are the usual guidebooks (Frommers, Fodors, Lonely Planet, etc.) with their corresponding websites.

Once we figure out how to post an excel file on our blog, we will have all the guides in one document but for now, we have to post each city individually.

First city we're posting: Boston.
