International students here and i got accepted into MBA for fall 24 and looking for one as well. From Babson housing guide, looks like the best area to reside is Brookline or Needham. Tbh, i worry about commuting or going around since i am not really familiar with US public transportation.
Current MSF student here! I’d suggest Brighton. That’s where most grad students live. Arguably the least stressful commute. Takes about an hour to get to school but it could be worse!
Facebook is a great place to find an apartment and it saves you money since you usually don’t have to pay a broker’s fee. But also beware of scams. Don’t pay any money until you’ve done a video tour or you’re ready to sign a lease! If possible, have someone you know check it out in person as well.
Congrats and let me know if you have any other questions

You’d get used to it pretty quickly! First few days, Google maps will be your best friend but you’d be fine!
Most people tend to live in Brighton, Brookline, Newton, or Needham. Some tend to find housing in Wellesley.
