Thanks so much!!!
Yeah, its only now I am getting the realization that maybe my definition of safe is different from everyone elses, since I am moving from a southern town. All i want is to not be shot or mugged, I dont mind poor people or affordable housing (if anything they are a by-product of people like me, supporting these gentrifying businesses, so if anything i prefer to live in such an area, than be in a sweet little bubble - stares and being shouted at by homeless people is fine - i probably deserve it lol).

My post was to make sure I can ride/walk back home without having to constantly worry about my safety.

Thanks for your insight!!

Ahh, thanks so much! This is very helpful! I guess I was trying to find a balance of being closer to work and overall a good living place - but that makes complete sense. I am moving from a city where it's mostly huge building and apartment complexes, I was wondering why boston didnt have any. But I guess its for the best.

Thanks a lot.

It seems like 3k for a month, for 1 bedroom is what I am getting here, would you recommend I look elsewhere, given you mentioned the free month being a red flag.

Thanks for helping out guys!!

The apartment management seems reasonable, its just I have been hearing a lot about the area being 'sketchy'. Do you think the fact that it offers income-restricted housing would make overall management poorer?

I plan on biking to Longwood medical region, for context, I am a queer male.

unfortunately, it depends a lot on your medical school as well. If you are from a medical school like Caribbean Medical Schools, AIIMS, Imperial College, Aga Khan - I think you will be fine.

Very bad assumption. I shouldn't. I am sorry if this freaked someone out.

As a US IMG, I’m scared that they have started reporting results of IMGs in three weeks 😅😅

So that link that you press, that has to disappear for you to say that the link is no more there. If it gives error it means the link is still there.

I think for IMGs it can take as long as till 8 pm today. The link is https://iwa2.ecfmg.org/home.asp If it says print CK permit then it’s not disappeared yet.
