I love Dress Code Cleaners near Central Square. It’s small and not fancy but they always do a great job with tailoring at very reasonable prices and the owners are really nice. I got my wedding dress hemmed there and my husband got his wedding suit tailored. He had been referred to a tailor in Boston that would’ve cost ~$400 and we got both of ours done for less than $100 and very very happy with the quality!

Yeah that sounds like bad advice. You’ll pay way more in the long run.

I’ve had the same router for almost 8 years with no issues. I got my modem 2 and a half years ago for $60.

A router and modem should last you 5 years at least. Even if you spent $100 on each (which is plenty to get quality equipment), that would only be $3.33/month. It’s $14/month to rent from Xfinity, so you’d spend $840 on rental fees in the same 5 years. You’d only need to live here 15 months to break even buying your own equipment (or less if you buy slightly cheaper equipment), and you could take it with you to your next apartment.

Nordstrom Rack offers alterations on clothes. I’ve brought jeans and pants to be hemmed that were not purchased there. Or at a Nordstrom at all. They did an okay job. Not stellar like the one I go to in CT, but it affordable and fine for a basic hem.

FYI after you sign up for Xfinity, you will be able to connect to the xfinitywifi network wherever you go. In an apartment building there will almost certainly be an xfinitywifi signal nearby. If you have trouble setting up your modem and router, you should be able to work on the xfinitywifi network till you get it sorted out.
