Get your family on the list, and go to the available unit page first thing in the morning every day. If you have any flexibility in terms of move in date, start the process ASAP.

Landlords don't want to rent to families. It's a huge problem in Cambridge, and it has been for more than a decade. Do you have a housing resource through your school? We went into Harvard University housing, and that's the only way my family was able to find a Cambridge apartment 10 years ago. I watched landlords take my application and crumple it up, laughing. Finding an apartment in Brooklyn was a breeze in comparison.

I lived in Harvard housing, and unfortunately, there are no deals. You pay market rent and probably need roomates.

These jobs aren't the norm, though. I'm a software engineer, and I work 40 hours, plus much more when deadline crunch time comes. I work hard on my off hours to ramp up skills because everything becomes stale really quickly. Like, I completely agree that most workers are underpaid, and some tech workers are overpaid, but no one I know has a job like you describe here.

As of Tuesday. But they also had cotton candy grapes for $2, so that made up for it.

Eggs there are 5.29, which was shocking enough.

And it's not like Fresh Pond isn't right down the street if you really want off leash time for your dog.

For the love of god, do NOT leave your off-leash dog unattended in a public park. Dog poop is nasty, and imagine the dangerous situations for your dog or others, etc. What the hell is wrong with people?

I live in one of those now. I don't have a car (we rent or zip car when we need to), but I think it's bad policy,.

We're all moving out in June/July, and not much is going to show up before then. I wish you luck! And congrats on getting into Harvard ;)
