New to Boston?

We’ve got you covered.

Just moved up from Gainesville? Feeling a little lost in the land of snow shovels, CharlieCards, and packie stores?

Welcome! We've put together a guide specifically for new Gators moving to Boston, with tips on:

  • Finding an apartment (and avoiding surprise broker fees)

  • Surviving winter (yes, you really do need a coat)

  • Getting around on the T

  • Local culture, quirks, and how to fit in

  • Fun things to do in and around the city

From Allston Christmas to snow boots under your desk, we’ve got real advice from local alumni who’ve been there.

Written with new grads and Florida transplants in mind.

Created by the New England Gator Club®, just for you.
