I live in Boston right on the Orange Line near Roxbury Crossing - it is convenient to work/school but I'm hoping to relocate to Somerville or Waltham late summer. The prices in our area are becoming ridiculous!

It is expensive to live in boston. I live in Roslindale, which is pretty central to most hospitals

Oh awesome! I love Mission Hill area...I've been here for two years and visited my boyfriend frequently the year prior. It is just changing a lot.

I live with my boyfriend now and he works in Waltham so it is always hard for us to find a place that works for both of our commutes (he drives, I use MBTA) and is somewhat reasonable. We have a steal for an apartment but there are so many new fancy buildings going up that the rents have been increasing every year. I won't be buying a car and hope to possibly live somewhere where I can just keep using the train but keep my commute under an hour! If I live in Waltham though I can have a car to use for clinicals and drive to class/work or take the commuter rail.

Karatefoot - I was actually looking at a studio apartment in Roslindale that is for sale! A lot of people I work with live there and seem to like it

Does everyone already work in the medical field?

I live a good 45-50 mins from Boston (on a good day when there's no traffic lol) but I don't really mind the commute my cars pretty good on gas. As for working in the medical field I've been a nursing assistant for about 4 years now. I've worked in rehab and long term care but now I do private duty homecare and I love it!

That's awesome Tay0521! So you will be an expert when it comes to patient contact! I have a position where I interact with patients on a daily basis but in an outpatient "counsel-y" type way. I went through a CNA program but have not worked as a CNA yet. I'm excited and nervous to be on the floors.

Haha aw thanks, yeah I'm hoping some of the experience I've had will be helpful. I'm still pretty nervous though. If you don't mind me asking what do you mean by "counsel-y"? Do you work in mental health?
