Imagine if the MBTA had 20317 buses available for use.

If they need it for many days this is probably cheaper

I also moved from out of state to go to a small private New England college. This was over 10 years ago and while I enjoyed my college experience I would not recommend it. My school was small, clicky, a big commuter population, and expensive. It had no personality of its own and people transferred out constantly.
I did get my undergraduate from there and moved onto a masters at a big state school when I had already established myself as a Mass resident. About 5 years after I graduated my undergrad, as many small private New England colleges do, closed down. Absorbed into a larger school system and I am still stuck paying that tens of thousands for a school that no longer exists.
I would encourage you to go big for undergrad and move here when you’re older, don’t spend all that money just because this is “where you want to be”. Give yourself some time, Boston will be here whenever you’re ready.

Northeastern University has many buildings that anyone can access if you are in that area.

Unless they plan to wreck it .... why not just rent one from the MBTA ...?

I interviewed for a job at Fisher a few years back. They did not seem to be in the best stead. Having worked in higher Ed, I always recommend students look for a smaller school with more financial aid bc in the end it’s about what you make of the experience more than the name of the school but I’m not sure that applies to Fisher. Of those three, I would pick Emmanuel but idk their standing. Lesley used to be the hallmark for early education but I don’t think they have been handled well administratively as of late. You could as others mentioned stay in NC for the next four years and focus on MA for your career or Masters. Definitely look for a masters program that offers a lot of money. Or if you have time dig a little deeper for other smaller schools with early childhood in MA that are doing better. Check the size of their endowment. That is a huge indicator of the stability of a school and what they can offer. Don’t make it your sole decision - bc that’s how people decide they have to go to Harvard and not everyone does or can. The UMass system is great. Have you checked out Salem State? They were founded as a teacher’s college though might still have the issue of out of state tuition being unaffordable.

If that’s the plan then just come up here. Live off your own means. Get MA residency status. Go to Bunker Hill CC for a year, or better yet two, then transfer in to UMass Boston. You’d get your Boston dream at a fraction of the cost. Plus you’d live in real Boston, not some overpriced dorms.

i hear you but it’s mostly about the location for me., not the school. i just don’t want to be in my hometown or really anywhere in the south. i applied to bu as well and got rejected but i think if i end up at fisher i’ll spend a year there and try and transfer to bu

The link you shared goes to an article published 7 years ago about the museum of science and industry in Chicago.

They’re constantly innovating and creating new exhibits and experiences. Currently the parking garage elevator is out of order and won’t be up and running until fall. Other than that, all the infrastructure of the MOS is functioning. The most recent renovation to the entrance hall and lobby was completed a couple years ago. You should visit the museum with your daughter.

Of the many colleges in Boston, it is one of them.

I’d literally never heard of it until today and I hire local graduates consistently. Stay in NC, go to an affordable in state option, and move here once you’ve graduated.

They should have left this at Mass and Cass for a week, that would have weathered it nicely.

Most of the buses look pretty clean though. You can just tell the colors on this one don’t pop like a real bus.

I worked from home before COVID, but no one else I knew worked from home. My industry (reg affairs, med devices) has been remote-friendly for a long time.

I still recommend the C&J bus from South Station. Instead of getting off in Seabrook, go up to Portsmouth. The bus terminal is right by the airport and there is an Enterprise at the airport. They will usually pick you up if you are renting from them. This also avoids driving in Boston.

UMass is a good school but pricy for out of state.

The target in central didn't have anything (that I could find), neither did the Blick across the street.
