Welcome to Boston, A Guide for International Newcomers

Welcome to Boston is packed with handy tips and cultural interpretation about life in the US, and, in particular, Boston. This unique collection of up-to-date websites, phone numbers and lists of resources helps international students, scholars and anyone new to the city manage a move to Boston. Much more than a tourist guide, this book explains the difference between Bake and Broil on your oven dial, why the bank asks for your mother's maiden name and what to do in a half bath, plus much more. You also can find information on MBTA apps for your mobile device and current information on bike rentals in the area. A unique practical resource for anyone moving to Boston, Massachusetts. Special attention is given to the questions international newcomers have, but people moving from other parts of the US will find all their questions answered here as well. Updated yearly, the book gives reliable, detailed information not found in any other single resource
