Boston's a fun city filled with lots of college students and people in their 20's. There are tons of bars that are packed every night, not that I would know since I go to the same bar all the time.

Areas I'd suggest to live in are Allston, Brighton, the Fenway and Brookline. Rent prices can either be not too expensive or very expensive. If you want a 1-bedroom by yourself expect to pay at least $1000. to give you an idea, I paid $1200 for a big 1-bedroom on a main road in Allston. If you have roommates, it will definitely be a lot cheaper.

I don't think a car is necessary in the city, I haven't had one for the 3 and a half years that I've lived here and it's never been a problem. The T is very simple to navigate, although the B Line can be my greatest enemy at times. I tend to walk most places when it's warm out too. Menino likes to call Boston the walking city.

I just saw your question about how easy it is to navigate the city with a car. If you know where you are going, it can be fairly easy. If you don't, then it is the biggest pain in the ass. Streets change names half way through, there are tons of one ways, and I think some streets have the same name. Parking can also be a bitch if you don't have a spot with your place.

Do you have any specific questions? and KSigKid is usually better at answering these questions than me!
