Hi. Also from P.R.China. My name's Zhu Zilin. You can call me Linda. I'll go to Boston in early this July, to participate in CELOP. Look forward to meeting you guys ASAP. Hope we'll have a nice time together.

As to Iris: If you do want to participate in CELOP. You should contact Sarah immediately, for the program will start at July.5. You shall inquire the earlist time you can receive your new i-20 form. And if you can make it, call to pospone your visa interview.

To VIvi,Linda:

To Iris,

Glad to know you. Both Linda and me are in Shanghai, and we have already contact with each other. My hotmail: smile_qing@hotmail.com.

Mine: zilinpig@hotmail.com
Happy to know you all. ^o^

As to the CELOP, I don't know whether it can help a lot. My english is poor. So I decide to take the course. However, it is really expensive!

Hi again,
To Vitelio: A friend of mine lived at the Greenhouse last year and liked it. It is in a great location, right next to two malls and a grocery store and within a few blocks of the best bars, shopping and museums. A lot of LLMs have lived there in the past. School is about a 10 minute T (Boston's subway is called the T) rideaway.
15 N Beacon is a near where I live in Allston. That building is a little farther west, so it's a bit out of the way. It is not on the T but is on the 52 bus line, which is actually quicker and less crowded than the T, but less easy to use. It was just redone so i'm sure it's quite nice. Both of those buildings a little more expensive than I or many of my JD classmates pay, but ther are also newer and have features like pools and doormen I don't have.

To Vivi: About utilities, nearly every apartment in Boston includes heat and hot water in the rent, and some include electric. Because heat is included, you rarely get control of the temperature of your apartment, so look forward to that. The electric company is NStar, gas (for cooking) is Keyspan, all you have to do to set these up is call them and they will switch the billing on your apartment. There are two cable companies: Comcast and RCN. I would recommend Comcast. You can get high speed internet through your cable company or from a phone company or independant provider. The local phone company is Verizon, but you can get home phone with the cable companies as well. Most people don't get home phones, they just use cellphones, of which the major companies are Verizon, Cingular, and T Mobile. Verizon has the best coverage, do not get Sprint, their coverage is abyssmal.

One thing I forgot to say about housing is that you should use more than one rental agent if you want to find a good place, I would say four is a good number. Sorry for the long post.

Thank you, Grant. It is long, but it is great!

Hi, everyone
I am Shawn, one of your classmates. I come from Taiwan, same as Ping . It 's really nice to contact to you guys before fall, so I would apreciate Mariya to open the board.
I am also worried about housing like some of you, but the information grantman provided is really helpful, thanks a lot.
Look forward to meet all of you!!!

Hi futures class mate,

I haven't yet present myself, so here it is: my name is Michael and I'm French. I hope we'll all have a great year together!

See you all in fall!

Hi all, I haven't presented myself either. My name is Denise and I am from Brasil. Congratulations on the quotes in this board, they are very useful.
Please to meet you!

Hi! I just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Neal. I grew up in South Africa, but Ive lived in Quincy since I was 15 (Quincy borders Boston to the south). I know most of Boston fairly well, and I am also quite familiar with the rest of the region. However, I have not spent much time in the BU section of Boston, nor have I ever lived in Boston, so Grantman is clearly your guy for useful info. But Im happy to help if I can.

Grant, I just graduated from Suffolk Law so BU is a nice upgrade. I presume that you, as I, will spend your summer studying for the bar so much for beaches and Red Sox games. To you and anyone else who is taking the bar soon, good luck!

I look forward to meeting all of you soon!

To Grant :

Thanks for the info, and your assistance.
I greatly appreciate it.

Neal,

Yeah I'm studying for the bar, I'm taking bar/bri at BU and plan to take both the NY and MA bars. Should be quite a fun time, I can't wait till it is all over in August.

I hear ya, grant...I had my first barbri course last night. That was four hours of bliss

Hi classmates:)
I am really happy that so many people take a part in this discussion!
Today I received my I-20 form. If you hurry or need the form earlier, my advice is to call Sarah Bellot. She is very helpfull and will do everything possible to send you the form in a few days.
