Reply to thoughts on fisher college? by [deleted]
Let me start with: your experience in school is what you make of it and put into it. If you are going there because there is a program you want to attend and it's financially viable, it's worth a shot.
I used to be a recruiter, and we went to Fisher college for a small recruiting event. These were for entry level operational jobs. I didn't care that their space for the career fair was smaller than a lunch room with some tables, but this place had the least prepared students I've ever encountered at a school career fair. People looked like they literally rolled out of bed and stopped by on the way to the bathroom. I had folks with curlers in their hair picking up materials and none had any questions or bothered much to engage. Wow... It was the one school we took of our list and never visited again.
This was many years ago, and hard to say if this was the school inadequately preparing the students and how to present to prospective companies, or if the students just didn't care. My guess it was probably both. Emmanuel and Lesley in my opinion are much better, in that order.

Reply to Extremly Unrealistic Fantasy MBTA Subway map. The Silver Line is converted into light rail. Let me know what your favorite part of the map is and what I missed. by Wide_right_yes
One of the biggest weaknesses in our current subway is that to if you don't live centrally in downtown Boston, you have to go into downtown to take a line that then goes west/north/south. Our lines need more connections at the outer points of the map. If you go to Tokyo,JP, one of the great things about their subways is that the map is more like a spider web. Rather than just spokes that all lead into Tokyo, they have ways to connect so you can avoid going to the central hub just to go back out.

Reply to I found the Public Garden so interesting this morning. Skyline completely indiscernible. by boston_acc
Nice photo! I found the whole area just eerily quiet yet pretty. The fall colors popping out of the mist was unexpectedly beautiful. I took the train today and at both points crossing over a body of water, you could barely see anything! Felt like you were being transported to another world.

Forgot about this. Had a colleague drive up for work meetings and she was wondering why room rates were going for $600/night. 😑 Edit:typo

Reply to Public restrooms by BooksCatsNCoffee
Agreeing with the hotels as the best bet. Not sure where you will be, but the any of the urban malls or food halls in Cambridge, Boston/Back Bay would be good alternatives too. Lastly, the bigger dept stores (think Macy's, Lord& Taylor, etc). If you are desperate, just buy a drink to use the restroom at a fast casual/ take out restaurant.
