University housing in shared dormitory rooms is very difficult to obtain. Alternatives to university housing include renting a room or apartment or arranging a "homestay" with an American family. More detailed information on homestay arrangements will be provided upon request. There is information about renting apartments and related costs at a web site provided by the university. Go to the web page for Frequently Asked Questions listed above to find out more about finding an apartment in Boston. 
Students who enter the program in September will be charged an annual insurance fee of $1,825, which includes the use of the university's Health Center and 12 months of insurance coverage. Students who enter the program in January will be charged on a pro-rata basis for eight months of coverage. Unless students have their own qualifying medical policy, they must enroll in the university's comprehensive medical insurance plan.
"I stongly recommend this program for applicants who want to get into an MBA program and have enough strength to endure the hard work."
