Thanks for the advice! I'm considering staying in the Boston area as I'm more likely to find housing options there with more people my age (students) as well as more options with things to do in my free time. If you have advice on this, I'd appreciate it. Thanks again and gig 'em!

Finding an affordable place close to Boston is not going to be easy, would recommend something closer to Burlington. Also Burlington and surrounding cities have quite the traffic.

Thank you for the advice. My workplace is about 20 minutes from downtown Boston, any other places that are about as far out from Burlington that would be suitable?

Even with out traffic, Burlington is not 20 minutes away from downtown Boston. Burlington is not far, but it could be an hour commute depending on where exactly your office is

I used to commute from Boston to Burlington by car. I gave myself an hour each way, usually in the morning it took 35 minutes and 45 to an hour home. The biggest hold up being around Alewife. Look at Allston, Cambridge, Watertown, Arlington for places close to route 2
