<p>I hope you don’t mind me reviving this thread-I’d love some input from some of the veteran BC folks above. We will be attending orientation with D at the end of June. Husband and I are staying at the HI Waltham. Wanted to confirm that there haven’t been any problems with on campus parking during those 3 days since we will be driving in daily. </p>
<p>I also thought I’d look forward to Parent’s Weekend 9/27-9/29. It looks like the parking then is a different story, and may require a different approach hotel-wise. As we are on a budget, I’d like to stay under $200/night (which is why we were looking outside of the city). I’m flipping back and forth between the MBTA map and Hotels.com to try to find something that would work, and getting more confused. </p>
<p>Do shuttles run Fri after the Pops concert, and after Sunday liturgy, or only after the game on Sat? Where are shuttle stops? </p>
<p>Hotel Indigo looked like a great spot to get on the T at Riverside but it is $259/night. But found a couple of places under $200 in Back Bay: Buckminster (my husband stayed there and it was just ok but do-able) and Hotel 140. Charlesmark was $219. Any other neighborhoods to look at that would work logistically with Parent’s Weekend? </p>
<p>Or if you all could just confirm that parking/shuttling isn’t the nightmare I’m imagining for those staying outside of Boston (like Waltham) that would be a huge help! </p>
<p>Would you recommend planning on dinner after the game w/D to avoid the exodus after the game? What time would be good to make reservations for? If we do dinner in the area, where do you recommend and will there still be shuttles still running later on to get us back to our car?</p>
<p>Any logistical/budget help would be so appreciated as I don’t know the area well enough to imagine what might work from just looking at the internet. </p>
<p>Very much looking forward to becoming part of the BC family!!</p>
