Tricky question: My company will put me in temporary housing for 2 months prior to me getting my own place (I am moving from out of state). So, the temporary house will be in Cambridge and I am right now interested with some rental houses in Arlington (haven't secured a contract yet). Am I allowed to sign my son up to a Kindergarten (public school) in Cambridge once I am in my temporary house and continue attending that school even if we end up moving to Arlington after 2 months?

There is a lottery for Cambridge K. Where are you from OP? Schooling in our city is a full time obsession for some.

EY1 - thanks much! I’m curious which private schools would you recommend. I’m going to look into it

Not tricky. No.

Nope - once you move your son cannot go to Cambridge schools anymore.

But would anyone find out? Likely not.

Also check Cambridge schools website. I don’t think kids automatically go to a neighborhood school. There is some other way of doling out seats. You should look into it. But realistically you likely can’t enroll til you have a lease.

Let them know in advance though as they need to plan funding requests and all that jazz.

Additional context: my son is 5, so the kindergarten will start on the upcoming fall.

I was thinking in the 65-70k range, but the recruiter made it seem like that was easily attainable so I’m worried I’m asking too low. Would 75-80k be do-able?

Anyone has experience negotiating a medical bill with MGH. I got some blood work done and was sent a bill of 1800. The bill was 2700 but negotiated rate with my insurance is 1800. I got the exact same blood work done in NC 2 years back and it cost me <200. My insurance said i should have gone to labcorp. I am new to Boston and didn't know this. MGH says prices are higher as we are a teaching hospital. It's just open loot and does not make sense. Anyone dealt with a similar situation.
