...There’s only one way you should be paying for public transportation in Cambridge and Boston: a Charlie Card. They’re available for free from MBTA officials and can be endlessly refilled at ticket kiosks inside T stations. Simply tap them on the designated sensor to ride buses or get through the T gates. Don’t buy individual ride tickets, which are more expensive than when purchased on a Charlie Card, and under absolutely no circumstances should you buy a monthly pass...
...Need a break from high-priced boutiques and Free Tibet protesters in the Square? Or are you craving an all-American, consumerist experience? The Cambridgeside Galleria Mall is only a 20-minute bus ride away: Hop on the number 69 bus at Johnston Gate, ride all the way to Lechmere, cross Cambridge St., and head two blocks south on First St. If you get off a little earlier, you’ll find yourself in Inman Square, home of cheap Indian cuisine and lots of cafes...

Note: Hemenway can be crazy at peak hours, when amped-up law students...
Faculty Expenses: Your dreams of one day becoming a renowned Harvard professor and flying your private jet to weekly conferences in Dubai—free martini in hand—have been dashed. Now that FAS will no longer be spending $13 million on travel, meals, and entertainment for its most elite, you’ll just have to settle for eating a no-longer-“subsidized” meal at the Harvard Faculty Club when you become a professor...
