Somewhat? I’m not into craft beer myself. I like Bud/Bud Light - basically a light lager. Trying to see what the prices are like (I’m coming from paying over €5 for a pint of Bud - about $5.50) and more interested in places that have regular draft beer than specialising in Craft beer. And trying to get a feel for what to expect price-wise while finding places good for us middle-aged kids.

Your partner thinks Guinness loses its quality on the voyage to the States so chooses Yuengling as it's replacement?
While I've drank my fair share of Yuengling, I wouldn't abandon even a poor Guinness pour for it.
Scruffy Murphys has good beer prices. I think I was paying $6.50 for a pint of Guinness. I imagine domestics are even more reasonably priced.

Am i understanding this correctly…are you basing your new location on the cost of a cheap pint of bud light?!

The change is that you no longer will be able to access the trains at the lot by walking through Union Station. Now everyone will have to cross Washington Square to get there

The good news is, about half of the people who graduated from Worcester colleges in the past ten years seem to have opened a brewery, so there is an absolutely amazing variety of locally produced craft brews available.

Thank you, will check out the cheaper end so! Not much into craft beer (too hoppy). Partner John likes Guinness in Ireland, but says it doesn’t travel well so he doesn’t drink it in US. My dad got him into Yeungling so that’ll probably be his go-to. I’m happy with Bud/Bud Light.

Beer scene has really blown up here, so you'll see a lot of places with craft taps for $7-10 or above. But a regular lager will be $3-6 depending on the place (check out Hotel Vernon for the cheaper end). Cocktail scene here is sad and not worth mentioning.

Maybe contact WPI to see if they will connect you with another Indian student who has already made the transition? You'll get relevent information and meet a fellow student...

Only comment I have that others haven’t said is that WPI used to (may still, I don’t know) have a reputation for never canceling classes for weather. They did it once when I was an undergrad, when we got like 2 feet of snow and it didn’t get above freezing for over 10 days, and even then classes were only cancelled for a day or two while the snow got cleared. All the other colleges and the public schools were closed for a week at that point. So the cold weather gear is that much more important.

The problem with Walmart is all the lights if you don’t have shades and the random noise if it’s 24 hours. Nothing like getting woken up to random people fighting at 3am

free i don't know about but there are lots of campgrounds nearby. Willard Brook is a state park up in Townsend not too far from Fitchburg. if you head west just a bit there's a bunch in the Winchendon/Hubbarston/Phillipston area.

I have full confidence that the MBTA will not botch this project and that, once completed, it will be totally safe and reliable.

Well, I think a pint of bud light will be the same anywhere out of those 3 cities. Also, you can get a 30 rack of those for your house fairly cheap. Do you have any other criteria??
