worst place ever

When i lived here I truly lost my mind. I shared a room the size of my closet I have now with one other person and still payed $1200 a month. No kitchen facilities only a community microwave. Security would often try to sell drugs to me and would let in strangers for lame "college" parties. Could'nt have a air conditioner in the summer-time because it would over load electric circuts. Had to open windows just to breathe in July heat only to expose myself to garbage fumes from the alley behind my "room". The view was a bed and breakfast on Newbury St. with pervert guests who exposed themselves, and the Prudential Building which blocked any good radio stations(how can I afford cable when I pay $1200 a month for a 20 sq. ft. of dying and going insane space'). 90% of the other residents of my own private hell were -------s who got into arguments over ridiculous things like bathrooms, ugly girls who lived there and what music to listen to.
Avoid at all costs, use money to build a bomb a blow this place sky high. It might actually make it colder in the summer months. It was so hot I was covered in sweat the time it took me to walk 10 feet from the nearest bathroom to my "pen" after a quick shower full of fear of catching some unknown disease from the rarely cleaned facilities. And get this, the people have the nerve to say I didn't pay my full rent and sent some collection agency after me when I moved out in disgust. I now have a 2000 sq. ft. apt. in Allentown, Pa. with a room for a urinal bigger than my "hole" at Garden Halls(that's right a urinal in addition to 2 showers and 2 other toilets, my living room is so big i have wiffle ball games in it), free electric, water and ample free parking for only $625/month. Not to mention colleges and bars just as good as Boston's right around the corner(Lehigh, Lafyette, Muhlenberg, Moravian, DeSalles, Cedar Crest, Kutztown). Philly is only a hour away and NYC only 90 minutes. best of all no bunk beds.
