Hi everyone! I also got accepted into the program. Although I’m still waiting on one more school to give me a decision this school is a top choice for me! I’ll be moving from NY and trying to find an apartment near by. Does anyone know good areas to live in or those to avoid?

I also just joined the Facebook group can’t wait to meet everyone!

Congrats! How long did it take for you to hear back after you submitted? and did you apply via NursingCAS or MCPHS Portal?

There are probably people here better equipped that I to answer this than I; but it seems as of last time I was there (Christmas) most areas are now fairly safe and accessible. Your best bet to be close might be Longwood/ Roxbury. As long as you live close to the Green line D train stop or an a stop near a train that goes to Copley / DT crossing, for a transfer you should be good.

The only place that might be a bit rough is south end near Boston medical center...but my sister just moved there and says it's changed.

The downside of the above is it's alot more expensive now. I'm moving back from LA, and I was surprised to find Boston is now more expensive than Los Angeles.

Hope this helps.

I'll be attending the Worcester campus, but I've lived in Boston for the past 2 years. Mission Hill is actually very close to the MCPHS Boston campus and is a cheap neighborhood with lots of students. Other cheap safe neighborhoods are in Jamaica Plain, Allston/Brighton, and Somerville (though this is a bit far from the area). The rents are definitely climbing in the area, but hopefully won't be too shocking for someone who's used to NY rates!

I heard back in about 4 days? You'll hopefully know next week!

Hi everyone! Finishing up my application for the Boston program and wanted to make sure I am not overlooking anything. Is it true that they do not require any recommendations or even a submitted resume?

Not sure about that... I submitted both and they were both checked off on their own application portal when they were received...

Good luck on your application!

Did those things pop up on the checklist before you submitted them? All that is on my checklist right now is the transcript.

I had recommendations and resume on my checklist, but I'd ask the admissions office to confirm.
