Also - if looking in PVD - med students start looking in Feb and March for June 1 availability Fb July. So if you have the slightest expectation of a place for that time frame start looking now. If your employment situation is still tbd I doubt you’ll be able to get a place solo / with a roommate pvd is doable?

Talk to an agent. You don’t pay anything - the sellers proceeds covers the broker fee. Have someone run comps for you for all the neighborhoods you’re interested in. Also drive around / walk around listing looks promising online.

If you just want the last word for last words sake, have it. Bryant has a fine but not stellar rep. Not a lot unique about it esp at a price tag like that. It's a regional business school primarily. I wouldn't encourage anyone looking at either RIC or URI to also apply there - Babson maybe but it's niche. ANd expensive. But have the last word if you need it.

Bryant has a new england wide rep as a second tier b-school. Always has. I think this is the intangible that you are missing here - no one is going to pull a bryant resume off the pile based on that. And if they are charging 50k a year? you can do better/same at a cheaper price. Payscale isn't free to use so I can't run alternate numbers. But they have a 73% acceptance rate? That speaks volumes on balance with your $ paywall.

I'm pointing out that if you're going to go 50k in debt for a degree (unless it's business, which is what Bryant's focus is) - your 50k will go much further somewhere else and have more name recognition/brand value than bryant. I'd imagine spending a ¼ of that at RIC would also be more effective. Even URI including room and board clocks in at $30,538....

There’s a shuttle to campus at the bottom of the hill that’s free with brown ID. Also RIPTA is free with brown ID and you could take the 1 through the tunnel. But it’s still a walk from the trainW station itself. Whatever your paying in BOS- it’ll be cheaper here? You must be mildly familiar with PVD if you applied? Teaching? staff? What hours and where on campus? All factors to consider. Reverse commute hours So there’s that no?

And some things are bad. I get some very specific things at TJs (snacks mostly) but every thing else at stop and shop or WF. Wish there was a closer MB for sure!! Eastside market when it was independent was so good it just gets worse every time I go now (which is rare).
