Social Media icons are looking aweful . Poor resolution . <| sep |> I ' m so sorry this happened to you . I hope you ' ll be able to find peace soon . Hang in there . <| sep |> I live near Cambridge and I enjoy it . 3500 is more than enough for you guys . You can easily find something cheaper than that . I don ' t know much about apartments in Harvard Square , but some neighborhoods to check out nearby would be Inman or Porter if she wants to be walking distance to the campus . If you want to be a short commute away , check out Davis Square which is in Somerville , but often people lump the two towns together because they are basically the same . One thing worth noting is that if she ' s doing her doctorate at Harvard Medical School , the HMS campus is in the Longwood Medical Area and is a little inconvenient from Cambridge . Boston in general is extremely LGBT friendly and I ' d say Cambridge might be even more so . The food and beer scene is great . There ' s a lot of really cool places to check out . Davis Square is probably one of my favorites for this . If you have any other questions , feel free to PM me . I was a newbie 6 months ago .
