<p>no surprises come to mind for me.</p>
<p>you’ll need money for…</p>
<ul>
<li>books</li>
<li>transportation (T, taxis, and perhaps an unexpected trip home)</li>
<li>fun/recreation (dining out, movies, theaters, concerts, museums, clubbing, parties, whatever you like to do…)</li>
<li>and maybe clothes (especially if you don’t own any winter clothes and would like to buy them in boston when it gets cold)</li>
</ul>
<p>that’s probably not what you’re looking for, but yeah… i don’t think there were any surprise fees charged directly by BU.</p>
