BCCSSA will subsidize most of cost to pick you up. However, due to limited budget, we ask you to pay $10 for the the toll area fee and airport parking fee. We hope you can understand this. For your information, if you take a taxi, it would probably cost you $50.

Renting Guideline(找房子注意事项)

1. Transportation

The main transports to and from school (before buy a car), are the school's shuttle bus and subway b-line. Pay attention to the distance from them. (B-line routes, please refer to www.mbta.com, shuttle bus, please school official online search).

2. Agent

There are many private intermediary companies. Be careful to "fee/broker fee". Some require full/half month fee:thee first month and last month's rent. Some also require deposit, then you have to pay this so-called "broker fee" for theire "services". You should think twice before looking for an apartment through an agent.

3. Look before you decide

Beter to check the place before you rent. For summer sublet, it is better to contact senior students here before looking at cragislist.
