<p>Ok, so this is really for Harvard SSP, but what are you guys planning to to after you arrive at the airport? I don't know anyone who lives there. And it is kind of dangerous for a 15 year old girl to ride a taxi by herself, isn't it?</p>
<p>well for internationals, there's supposed to be a shuttle service at Logan Airport I <em>think</em> - so we inform MIT when we're expected to arrive. Or you can look up Harvard seniors you might know and get them to meet you at the airport?</p>
<p>I know a few Harvard graduates, and one that's going back in "September." I don't know any undergrades though...</p>
<p>Taxi? Dangerous? I shouldn't think so.</p>
<p>When I came to Boston for my college visit (farm girl's first time in the big city), taxis were the only place I felt safe -- the T scared me half to death.</p>
<p>Taxis in Boston are licensed through the city, and so far as I know they are very safe.</p>
<p>I personally think it's dangerous because my friend's aunt has been kidnapped once by a taxi driver. It was S.C.A.R.Y.</p>
<p>i took the T instead of the Taxi. Haha...i wanted to save $40.</p>
<p>But taking the T with all that luggage? I've done it, and let's just say I got to my destination only because of the kindness of random strangers ;)</p>
<p>omg! I know what you mean. hahaha....i was able to get up those stairs because someone from behind pushed my luggage up. </p>
<p>I've done it three times so far....go me! I'm used to it now, but I wouldn't recommend it, taffy.</p>
<p>i take the t with luggage to the airport and south station pretty often, tho it is admittedly a bit of a hassle. i wouldn't say the taxis are unsafe, although this summer (when escorting a high school friend from logan to SSP, actually) i realized you need to carefully specify harvard college, undergrad, or else they'll think you mean harvard business school, which is across the river and not useful.</p>
<p><em>ponders</em> i could possibly be contracted to carry heavy objects and escort hapless new-to-boston folks, should you happen to become incredibly desperate. i've been thinking about a career as an escort, as it happens.</p>
<p>goddess -- haha, I won't be carrying alot of stuff since it is only for 6 weeks. Thanks for the offer though. I think I'll go with the T, but not totally positive yet.</p>
