Why Relocate to Boston

Boston is a lively and diverse American city, with a very rich history dating back to the 1600’s. Boston prides itself as being one of the best places in the country for healthcare and education, with many prestigious universities being located here. This makes it a great destination for Brits to emigrate to, boasting a lot of career and study opportunities. 

Because of its popularity, Boston can be an expensive city to live in, with the cost of living being 2.4% higher than that of London. However, the average salary increase of 14% more than covers this difference, and a lot of Brits claim to have more disposable income after moving to Boston.

Moving to Harvard University or MIT

Boston has a large and diverse cultural scene of young professionals thanks to it being home to two prestigious Universities, Harvard and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). These universities attract a lot of Brits each year, both for study and employment opportunities.
