Hi, Please who is applying to MGH IHP for summer 2018? They keep extending the deadline from Nov 1st to Dec 1st and now Dec 15th. Does any one know if the the date we hear from them will also change?
For those of you who've gotten your acceptance, do you have any thoughts on what areas/neighborhoods are best to live in? In terms of being in a fun (and safe) area while not being too far away from IHP and MGH.
I'm new to the city, just starting to learn more about it and anything helps :)
arals: There are plenty of good places in Charlestown, the Back Bay, the South End, the North End, the Seaport District, and Cambridge. They are expensive, but very nice, very fun, and very safe. East Boston, Malden, Everett, Melrose, Medford, Arlington are smaller city like vibes and less expensive and have some very safe areas.
Things to consider: Will you be taking public transportation to school or driving? Traffic is brutal. If you want to burn the candle at both ends and are looking to party, go to the North End...Easy commute to school and plenty of restuarants/bars, steps the the TD Garden, best Italian food in the city. South End used to be very dangerous in the 90s, but now has a lot of culture and sophistication thanks to the revitalization provided by the LGBT community, but it also has methadone mile and a few dangerous blocks. Hope this helps and congratulations!
Arals154: I would suggest Somerville as the most convenient, affordable and fun place to live if going to MGH! It is one of the latest hot spots in Boston, with tons of young people moving to that area. It is very close to MGH, has nightlife, good restaurants, and you won't be completely broke after living there. It is a commute if you want to get to "downtown" (Beacon Hill, financial district, Back Bay), but is great for students.
Thanks Katherina!
Good luck :)
They didn't give a reason unfortunately.
Just a thank you for applying and that they will keep me updated when any spots open up , up until the start of the semester.
Also, to notify them if I take any additional classes or have changes in my resume before then.
