Hm . . . Boston . . .

First - right now it's pretty hot here (city heat, humidity), in a couple weeks it could be snowing though. The weather is flighty - check weather.com a couple days before you go, and then pack some extras just in case. The weather's random.

I'll chime in on the nightlife too . . .

As far as clubs, if you want to really go clubbing there's the "world famous" Roxy, Landsdowne St has some good clubs, the ever-upscale Aria is downtown, etc. Plenty of "doot doot" Eurotrash clubs within walking distance, pretty much anywhere.

If you're looking to hit the bars, the Purple Shamrock is right by Quincy (pronounce it "KWIN-zee") Market (gov't center), that's a pretty solid place, there's some other bars around there too, Bell in Hand, the Point (YES!), etc.

If you want to strap on the Gucci and go upscale: barcode, Blue Cat Club, places like that.

If you're like me and appreciate a real bar, there's T's Pub (which is actually on campus here at BU, but isn't really a college bar), the shamrock, a bunch of places near MIT and Harvard (like the Middle East etc).

If you want a real dive, well, come join the ladies of Delta Gamma at Beckett's for last call - that's the place to be.

In terms of going out, Boston is a city that drinks - you'll have no problem finding a good bar, no matter where you are.

Hit us up with more specifics on what you're looking for though, for better advice.
