<p>I grew up in a TINY town in Michigan and went to the University of Colorado. It was a complete 180 from what I was used to. I found it took a semester to really get the hang of things, but then it was really easy. Now, almost ten years later, I still live in Boulder and actually feel more at home here then I do in Michigan. So, don't stress about it. You will be fine!</p>
<p>I think the weather will be the biggest adjustment for you. I moved from BFE central California to LA to go to school and loved living in the big city. There was just so much to do. I did have to get used to locking my doors and not walking alone at night though. </p>
<p>My friends who have moved east do love it but they miss In'n'Out and good Mexican food.</p>
<p>Thank you every one for your supporting words!
But will there be an extreme culture shock?, i mean we are all americans right?</p>
<p>No. California is a different country.</p>
<p>Get a map. Memorize the Sox and Pats rosters. Check out Boloco burritos. You'll be fine and have a lot of fun.</p>
<p>Boloco is awful.</p>
<p>Well it's not 5 star sit down dining, but it's great for an on-the-go snack--and their meat is humanely raised!</p>
<p>I consider myself a bit of a food snob and I love Boloco. Meh. Different tastes.</p>
<p>The point being that Boston is a great city and the OP will love it.</p>
<p>There's a Mexican place by Kenmore Square. I'm forgetting the name of it right now. But it's head and shoulders above Boloco.</p>
<p>I don't hold exactly the same opinions about Boston as you do, but it is a great place to be a college student if you want to be in a city.</p>
<p>thankyou guyz for the food tips, i'll b sure 2 check it out</p>
<p>Boloco is good. Certainly better than those chinese trucks that serve **** in a pool of grease in Boston</p>
<p>El</a> Pelon Taqueria - Authentic Mexican</p>
<p>Eat at this place. Then tell me Boloco is good.</p>
<p>is it really hard to get around Boston? Will the "T" be confusing?</p>
<p>No, it's pretty easy to get around Boston. The T will be confusing for the first two weeks or so, and then you'll be an old hand at it.</p>
<p>I found a lot of things to like about Boston when we visited. Not too big, lots of students there, the public transportation system can get you around the city easily, great sports town (that area around Fenway rocks)... It's very diifferent from NY, but it has it's own charm.</p>
<p>I don't go to Northeastern, so I wouldn't be able to comment on that. However I'm also from abroad and living in Boston for over a year now, and I think it is a great city. The best thing is that it is a small city very easy to get used to and to get around. On the other hand it has everything a big city would offer so that is nice.</p>
<p>If you are not scared of a little cold in the winter, than you will love this city.</p>
