Howdy as well! I moved up to the city after gradscholl in CStat so I feel you. It's cold but honestly only truly freezing for a month or so.

If you are going to be in Burlington you will want a car unless whoever you will be working for has a shuttle go transit/Boston Proper. And if you have a car you'll want to be out of the city as parking will be $$$ or a pain

As for finding a place Burlington will have less rigid turnover dates than Boston and around the universities. Prices are high and bigger complexes might be more willing for short term stuff. Getting a sublet just for spring may be a pain but you might check over at the Northeastern University subreddit. Since such a big fraction of folks take Co-Ops each semester there are often sublets needed for similar time periods.

Thanks for your advice! I'll make sure to look into that for sure. All the best and gig 'em

Worth looking in the Tufts vicinity. Sublets might not be as abundant as Northeastern, but living in Medford/Somerville will help cut down on the commute. Here's a local housing FB page: https://facebook.com/groups/1832581053477864/
