Medical Student Residence

The MSR is extremely convenient, clean, spacious, and secure. Highly recommend for BUSM students!

My one qualm is that the corner apartments are significantly larger, but the students in those apartments pay the same rent as students in smaller apartments. However, the corner apartments are designed to be wheelchair accessible whereas the other apartments are not, and perhaps there is some kind of regulation that prevents those apartments from being listed at a higher price.

I have lived in these apartments before new management. with the new management, a lot has changed (not necessarily for the better).
Medical students get a 275$ stipend towards rent, prior to new management that was it; now that stipend is taken from your school allotment decreasing how much you can take out in student loans.
new management makes it hard to change rooms and is extremely bureaucratic (e.g. ac/heating takes a while to adjust to the weather as, apparently, both systems can't run at the same time).

The building has 2 keycard access doors to enter and a security guard posted often.
The basement has a laundry room. the first floor has a gym and lounge area, and the back of the building has a park for residents.
Maintenance is amazing and tend to fix things in an extremely timely manner.

overall, for Boston and for the price, the MSR is a good place to live.

p.s. no pets

Gym, laundry, security for low rent and extremely close to campus, plus flexible management regarding paying rent, moving units, etc.

No windows in the kitchen. Kind of small but has the necessities. Nice amenities.
