The students are back.
Harvard kids (starting classes Wednesday) or MIT kids (starting next week) should check out the list of links and tips from the City of Cambridge, including bike maps, street-cleaning days, farmers markets and parking information.
Boston kids could follow the new blog for ONEIN3 Boston, which is named for the one-third of Boston’s population between age 20 and 34. The Massachusetts secretary of state has a complete guide for the new Bay Stater.
The Neave Online Publication has some grown-up advice for college freshmen on a topic that admissions officers won’t touch: sex. And for the adults, Benoit College’s annual Mindset List is out to help bridge the generation gap with the Class of 2014.
Meanwhile, some Twitterers submitted their own advice:
- Sometimes the polite thing to do is to take the empty seat on the bus. No one can sit when you block it & you’re in the way. (@RachelCraves)
- When on the #mbta, remember to take your backpacks off & put on the floor. The same goes for non-students as well! (@aliphin)
- Pls don’t walk in mass groups off campus. It causes foot traffic. (@BaDaBingLany)
- Don’t be afraid to make mistakes; Pick challenging classes over GPA Boosters; Meet people and polish social skills (@bzheng)
What is your advice for incoming students?
