Furniture Shopping
Lease all signed for next year? It's time for
shopping! Start thinking about the furniture you'll need. Fantasize about the giant TV for your wall. Be a smart spender! Before you buy furniture that won't fit, ask your new landlord or realtor for another showing of your future unit and permission to take measurements.
IKEA is a great place to get started! Affordable furniture and a wealth of useful accessories and appliances for your new home make a trip to IKEA a no-brainer.
Target at South Bay Plaza is another affordable option. You can even get a 10% student discount when you order online.
Storage
Consider your storage needs and avoid chaos on September 1st! Some local storage companies have great student deals! Check here for more information!

Summer Safety Tips!
Grilling
- Consult your lease - your landlord may have restrictions on grilling!
- Grill in a safe area- free from strong winds that may blow sparks and away from combustibles!
- Have a fire extinguisher- it never hurts to be prepared!
- Depending on your type of grill, Boston has different regulations on where it can be used. Check out the City of Boston website here.
Vacation Safety
- If you'll be away, be sure to lock up your apartment to prevent break-ins- including your windows.
- Do not leave valuables in plain sight.
- Even though the sun sets later, stick to well-lit areas when walking.
- Keep your neighbors in mind- even though you don't have classes on Friday, always keep your volume at a respectable level.
