Perfect time to move out there, their is a Boston Regional now.
Its a city, so their is plenty to do. From what my sister tells me, it could get expensive depending on where you live in the city but that is just how cities are. The Charles River is right there, so it opens up some possibilities. I heard that going to sporting events and going to the clubs are the hot things to do. Its an awesome city with plenty to do, you won't have a hard time finding anything to do. As for robotics teams in the city, I think there are some(125, 246 etc.). Hope this helps.
GO 1403!!!
