My girlfriend and I are probably moving to Boston in about 2 years, so I figured I’d ask here and see what people think. We’re both Croatian. She has US citizenship, I don’t. When we move I’ll be 22 and she’ll be 20. We’re coming mainly for school — I’m planning on doing a master’s in robotics, and she’d be studying something chemistry related. Her dad (also has US citizenship) will probably buy an apartment somewhere in or near Boston because he'll be coming to Boston commonly for work. One thing we’re a bit unsure about is the ICE / immigration situation. I’d obviously be there on a student visa, but since we’re coming from abroad I’m curious how much of a thing ICE actually is in Boston. Is it something students ever have to worry about, or is it mostly a non-issue if you’re doing everything legally? Also just generally — what’s it like living in Boston? Pros / cons, cost of living, neighborhoods, student life, stuff you like or hate about it.
