too many one way streets that dump you into more one way streets

stop signs and red lights are "stoptional" meaning if you are a boston driver it's your option whether or not to actually obey them

Lots of good food but be careful because it's very easy to wander into a sketchy area

Tell her to take a walk down Methadone Mile.

She probably won't come home addicted to Oxy. I'm sure you were a good enough parent.

Tell her never to go to south boston, dorchester, roxbury, or jamaica plain unless she wants one of the following: to be raped or to buy drugs

also be prepared for the most unfriendly city on the planet and a lot of drunks

There are poems painted with a temporary paint on the sidewalks in boston. The gimmick is they're only revealed when wet, and they're meant to be noticed when it rains.

Boston common is awesome during the summer, during the winter it gets so cold youd wish you werent alive, parking is a bitch, the north end has great food but is absurdly expensive.

what school is she going to?

Our transit system is the worst, constant delays and it shuts down at midnight.

We have a major heroin "problem" which is slowly but surely thinning the herd of white trash.

If she doesn't embrace the local sports teams, a 45 year old man will attempt to fistfight her.

Avoid the above mentioned areas. Faneuil Hall is a decent area for drinking/tourism.

better hope she doesn't become what is sometimes best summed up as a biddy (sorta like the Boston twist on the American basic bitch, wears a Northface or Canada Goose jacket in winter, owns a pair of uggs and PINK rear end letters sweatpants and wears them in public and to class instead of the usual leggings/yoga pants while hungover on some random morning after w/Pumpkin Spice Starbucks latte and smartphone in same hand and walking four abreast down the sidewalk in the middle of the day with her squad girls and the giant sunglasses on, of course cant forget the pink red sox hat to show love for their new most fav team ever and to cover up their hair esp when looking like a hot mess, and even worse begins to talk like a trashier valley girl with vocal fry, a put-on bad attitude/ Boston accent and suddenly being #BostonStrong on social media accounts (or similar cringe inducing #bullshit) simply by virtue of coming to live and study for a few years in the City of Boston (ive been out of college for 5+yrs now but my description should still be relatively accurate based upon what i see nowadays. But I'm just screwing with ya, i have faith u raised her far better than that so im sure she'll turn out swell.

Even the "bad" parts of town are pretty gentrified. I'd suggest avoiding any area more than walking distance from a train station, but there isn't a hell of a lot too far from her school she should bother with.

constantly refer to boston as 'beantown', that's what the locals call it and it will make you fit in

If there was Oxy to go around it wouldn't be called Methadone Mile. Just saying.
