What to bring with you

Clothes

Boston has four seasons: Winter, spring, summer, and fall. The temperatures change dramatically for each season. The fall tends to be warm to cool and the winter is very cold and snow. You may want to wear layers during the colder months and be sure to bring or buy a winter coat. Some students chose to bring all of their clothes for the year or you can bring enough for the first half of the year, and bring more when you return from winter break.

Money

You may not be able to open a bank account within the first few days of your arrival. It is a good idea to bring some U.S. dollars with you. You will have an opportunity to open a bank account during orientation.
