As far as I know, the price in Boston is the third high in the U.S., especially the house rental. Indeed, I told many friends who stayed in other states in the U.S. my rent, and they were surprised at the high rent. That was the reason I felt difficult to find a reasonable rent of apartments. In the two weeks, I and my friend have seen more than ten apartments, but we did not like anyone, because of the distance, price, space of rooms, or environment.
In the beginning, I went to a realty agency, and the agent just showed the apartments with extremely high rent. The rent and broker fee were not negotiable. Even though the location was wonderful and the apartments were gorgeous, we cannot afford the rent. Then, I focused the affordable rent and the acceptable distance, and we visited some apartments who were held by another agent. We found the room space in those apartments is too small. We realized that if we wanted to live near campus, we had to raise our budgets, or if we wanted to live in a gorgeous and cheap apartment, we had to live in the suburb. Finally, we decided to add our budget to live near campus, because time cannot be bought, and we did not want to take time to commute.
Nowadays, we still have searched the apartment we wanted while we were drowned by the assignments, tests, and textbooks. We hoped we can finish this bothering stuff in this week, because we will have one more course in this weekend and next weekend, and I will have less time to find new apartment.
