Moving to Boston from Chicago in August for school. Are there any differences in weather attire between the two? Or product recs? Both cities are pretty cold, but Boston seems to get a lot more snow..

Man, the Boston bowl is a lot less chatty than the Chicago bowl. Coincidence? 😂

Honestly it’s pretty similar. If you don’t have a solid pair of snow boots, I would recommend getting some. Bean boots are a great option.

Lived in both cities. Boston gets more snow but Chicago is colder. You should have everything you need coming from Chicago (assuming you have snow boots!)

I actually don’t have snow boots because I’m a daredevil like that. But you bet I’m stopping by LL Bean first thing after I step off my flight 👌

Late to this (just joined the bowl) but bean boots arent the best for snow...the treads are quite shallow and they lose their grip real quick trying to navigate around town!

I've lived in both too. You should be fine but definitely get boots.

Graduating with PhD in comp neuro next year. I just did a week long internship at MBB to check out consulting, which I loved but ultimately will not be accepting my offer for life considerations (my wife also works at MBB and we have young children). It was amazing getting a sense of what the work actually comprises.

Are there any similar day-long or week-long internship programs for data science? Would love to test it out for a little bit to see what I like/dislike.
