Hello everyone!
Im starting an assigment at MassachusettsGeneral Hospital in Boston. My apartment is downtown and I have to pay for parking. For those of you who have traveled to Boston, did you bring your car?
Any opinions on Mass General?
thanks!

I did almost 2 years as a traveller in Boston, I did bring my car, but was housed in Quincy due to my dog. PM me if you have any questions, I loved my time there!!!!! They will most likely house you at Charles River Park, it's right across the street from MGH.

I am currently at MGH in the MICU-have been there since May 2010. I too live downtown-we got our own place. Our car is parked at my brother's (25 minutes southwest of the city)-we take the train out when we need it. I'm sorry I can't give you any definitive advice about where to park inexpensively, but there are websites that show locations and compare rates-if you want to keep your car nearby, it will be at least $400/month.
The people at MGH are great-I have enjoyed my time there. Some of their practices are a bit archaic, considering it's MGH "that's the way we do things here", but the care is good and the vibe is positive. Obviously, there are tons of residents and I am sure you know how that goes.
Boston is great (but better when it warms up). We have enjoyed our time here and loved New England (we explored everywhere during the summer!) Good luck and have fun!!
