A lotta people pooping in there so they have to collect the poop DNA to arrest the poopers.

To see the random idiots walk up to the island

It's definitely not a newer style body bus, the roof doesn't have the contour

To avoid competitive figure skating competitions.

Others would call it "litter" but agree.

^^^ This. ^^^

Also, when cleaning it, sometimes they also take advantage of the opportunity to service/maintain the plumbing. :)

Check for bodies.

It's drained in the winter, and periodically to clean the muck out.

I went to Suffolk, pretty close by. I don't think I ever met anybody who went to Fisher, and even having been just down the street, I'd forget it existed unless I walked by it or something.

It's not prestigious or even remarkable is what I'm saying- and Suffolk's not exactly the Sorbonne either, so take from that what you will.

Although, speaking of my alma mater- you might be interested to hear that while Suffolk isn't the best school in town, it is recognizable, respectable, and rigorous enough, and I studied with people who went on to do all kinds of important and interesting things with great success. Not being a top-tier school, though, means it's pretty easy to get into. I was there 2010-2014, and I'm pretty sure the admission rate was like 70% or something. Consequently, it was a very popular destination for students who applied because they just wanted to be in Boston, and an acceptance letter from Suffolk is basically guaranteed if you were at least a C+ student in high school. If it tells you anything about the desirability of Suffolk's location, another huge subset of Suffolk students in my day were those who made it their second choice after Emerson, which is a very different school that specializes in very different sorts of programs- it just happens that the schools are physically separated by a matter of mere yards (this was me, lol- I had a major academic change of plans, but I was glad to be downtown anyway).

If location is the most important thing to you, if you just want to get in someplace and be in Boston, but you still want a degree with a name people recognize, Suffolk is actually worth looking into, I'd say.

Exactly what I was gonna say. Come up here, find an apartment and go to community college. Ace your classes and you’ll probably get a scholarship to umass Boston or even BU. Fisher is an okay school, but without a full scholarship it doesn’t make much sense in your situation.

Realtor is usually someone who sells houses or condos. If you mean the same as a real estate agent, then yeah, they're typically the same thing. Technically there can be differences, but you almost never need to worry about those (usually who owns the agency, and if everyone is licensed on their own, etc).

For the follow up, sure, you can try. I've found apartments without them before. It's just a pain in the ass filtering out every single agent/broker listing.

And for the final part it's worth noting you don't always have the choice if an agent is involved. Tenants can and usually are required to pay the broker fee, even if it's the landlord's personal broker. No one likes that as a tenant, but unless you want to start a ballot innovative or something then you'll either suck it up and pay the fee if the apartment is worth it, or keep looking for that ideal apartment without a fee.

It looks like a low-polygon model of a bus from a Grand Theft Auto game set in a fictionalized version of Boston.

I bet that would be a fun game.

You can literally just go to any Duncan donuts which there is one on every corner. Or any coffee shop really will let you use their bathroom. And also any fire house will let you go as well.

>Felt like high school lol

This is also my experience in dealing with Fisher and Fisher students.

Large complexes typically do not have broker fees.

I don’t know why I got a downvote, I’m new to Boston and am just starting the process to find my own place.

thanks - just got on the waitlist :)

Not even close? 80/90's buses were the RTS' that were like 20ft tall and had body panels hanging on by half a thread and one courageous ziptie.

We're overdue for a Globe article about a middle schooler "discovering" the faulty proof in the Mathematic exhibit, aren't we?

Oh good to know. I ended up walking to Ricky's flower market, but for future reference I'll look there. Thanks!

It's definitely just there to get blown up.

There are only 8 of us, not like it's a whole busload.

I’d be so mad if I was at a brewery and someone brought in a group of high school students. don’t do this
