Mass is a great place to live, but it is pretty expensive. However, I think the job market is pretty good, especially in the city. There are some nice apartments for pretty cheap for students and everyone else. If you want urban, check out Allston/Brighton. They're in the city of Boston, are fairly safe, and chill about smoking (mostly young people there). Allston is more urban, brighton is more 2-family houses.

As for Surburbs, Metro West (of Boston) is really expensive ie Newton, Wellesley, Wayland, Weston, Brookline, ect. However if you go across the river to Arlington or north (but not into the dangerous towns), there are some good/cheap places to live with good schools and public transit.

edit: Boston is great IMO, but some of these other places sound great, too! Good luck and keep us updated!
