My sister lives in NYC and she met us for dinner yesterday- they took the subway there. After I told her about the sign I saw she mentioned that she and her husband had to carry the stroller up/down the stairs at least at one end of the trip. And obviously this is a huge accessibility issue for wheelchair users, people who use other mobility aids or even just struggle with stairs. (My sister is fortunate that most of the places she takes her kid are places she can easily walk to.)

Are you hoping to work at a big 4 accounting firm in the US after you get your masters? If so, I’d look at schools that they recruit from, and do so as inexpensively as possible. You can apply to work at the Boston office after graduation (and while pay as entry level in the big 4 isn’t that great - you won’t break $100k in Boston in audit/tax to start, maybe between $65k-$70k, as you move up and gain experience it quickly gets better).

Yeah, it saves time if it’s on time, but if it’s not on time it’s not worth the extra money. I usually book whichever is least expensive (once or twice the Acela actually was for me)

For the Boston - NYC route, the benefit to Acela is that it’s marginally faster and all seats are business class. If your booking by budget, I’d do the regional (but once I did Acela from DC to Boston cause I waited to book and that was less expensive than both the regional and flying). Assuming everything is on time, I believe the Acela only saves you 45 min-an hour
