The more intense a color, the more likely it is to fade. After a few years, vivid blues and deep reds will seem more subdued. Dark colors also pose more maintenance problems. Dark colors absorb heat and suffer more moisture problems than lighter shades. And because dark paint fades, it’s difficult to touch up.

Information for Students Renting in Boston
“Boston is a great place to come for college or graduate school. If you are a
student living on your own, considering moving off campus, or making
plans for after graduation, it’s important to know your rights and
responsibilities as a tenant and a neighbor. The information on this page
can help you make smart choices that will enhance your experience as a
resident in this world-class city.”
– Mayor Thomas M. Menino
–
Living in an apartment in Boston can be an exciting experience, but
being a tenant and a good neighbor comes with certain rights and
responsibilities.
The City of Boston’s Rental Housing Resource Center has a great
website where you can find lots of information to help you
understand those rights and those responsibilities. The website
covers a variety of rental housing topics. When you go online to
www.cityofboston.gov/rentalhousing and click on Student Information.

You come home wanting to talk about your day to someone. There are people who like coming home to a quiet apartment. And there are those who become depressed at the thought. If you hate coming home to an empty apartment, then you may need a roommate. Just make sure you find a roommate you’re compatible with.
You have no money to yourself or to put in savings after paying off rent, utilities and basic living needs such as food and transportation. Roommates help you save money. Sometimes, rent is cheaper with a roommate. Also, roommates split the cost of cable television, utilities and home supplies.
You hate cooking dinner for one. Find yourself cooking a platter of lasagna and freezing it for weeks as you slowly finish it off? Maybe you yearn for a buddy to help with the cooking, cleaning and, of course, eating.
You like having friends who know what you look like before you put your face on. Roommates have a special bond, because you’ve seen each other when sick, tired, crabby and sans make-up or hair gel.
You have a dog and need help walking it. Just kidding. I threw that one in as a joke. But, if you do have a dog, it would be nice if your roommates shared the responsibilities of taking it outside. It’s also a good idea to share pet safety concerns with your roommates.

Mission Hill is a one square mile[1] neighborhood of approximately 18,000 people in Boston, Massachusetts. The neighborhood is roughly bounded by Columbus Avenue and the Boston neighborhood of Roxbury to the east, Longwood Avenue to the northeast and the Olmsted designed Riverway/Jamaicaway and the town of Brookline to the west. It is northernly adjacent to the Boston neighborhood Jamaica Plain. It is served by the MBTA Green Line E Branch and the Orange Line and is within walking distance of the Museum of Fine Arts. “The Hill” overlaps with about half of the Longwood Medical and Academic Area, home to 21 world-class health care, research, education institutions and are responsible for the largest employment area in the City of Boston outside of downtown. Due to these adjacencies, the neighborhood is often struggling with institutional growth taking residential buildings and occupying storefront commercial space. But recent years have seen new retail stores, restaurants and residential development giving the neighborhood a stronger political voice and identity.
Mission Hill is an architectural landmark district with a combination of freestanding houses built by early wealthy landowners, blocks of traditional brick rowhouses, and many Triple decker. Many are condominiums, but there are also several two-family and some single-family homes.
