Any advice for me if I can't really see the apartment in person until I move there? I'm in Texas and have school going on. It would be too much for me to make a preliminary trip to MA just to do apartment hunting and then come back home for all my stuff and then finally move back over there.

Are there any places where I'm likely to avoid scammers (i.e. facebook groups, etc)?

Thanks for the advice. I've been looking on some facebook groups and found pretty reasonable rates!

Thank you for the advice! Any sites where I could look for housing options (rent or sublease) for suburbs?

Thanks for your advice. Being from Texas, I've grown to become a safe driver and don't like following too closely as there are way too many incidents of road rage and idiots on big trucks. Hopefully that'll come in handy.

Thank you for the advice. My workplace is about 20 minutes from downtown Boston, any other places that are about as far out from Burlington that would be suitable?

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

Thanks for the advice! I'm considering staying in the Boston area as I'm more likely to find housing options there with more people my age (students) as well as more options with things to do in my free time. If you have advice on this, I'd appreciate it. Thanks again and gig 'em!
