Kidding side, OP, depending on where you live in Boston the commute will be pretty doable. You’ll be on very empty trains compared to those that are heading into Boston during rush hour, and Brown is very easy to get to from the train station. I’ve known people who’ve done the same commute in the past and said it was less stressful than taking the T or driving in the Boston area. The biggest question you have to consider is whether all that time commuting is worth it for you. My fiancée does it (going to Boston) 3x a week and likes it a lot; OTOH, I think that schedule would actually kill me.
