We provide this book for incoming international students at our university and they absolutely love it. The book covers housing, transportation, schools, healthcare, shopping and more. The short sections which go over things like the postal service are so beneficial for those who have never lived in the U.S.! I studied abroad and I remember how confusing a foreign post office can be. Explaining the little things like this makes transitioning to a new country and city, so helpful. I would highly recommend this book to anyone moving to the city of Boston from abroad. It is a great resource. |

I am an international student advisor at a small private college in Boston. I have been using this book for over four years now. I distribute one copy to each international student duriong International Student Orientation. The book is a wealth of information and an incredible resource for international students--- it covers everything from american clothing sizes to how to buy a car in the U.S. It is also good size which allows students to carry the book with them while they walk around Boston. This book is also a great resource for international student advisors! It has helped me quickly access answers to some of the questions my students have had about life in Boston/the U.S. and how to do certain things. The fact that they publish a new edition each year also helps me to feel confident that the material in the book is up-to-date. I highly recommend this book! |
