Working in Worcester. Living in Boston? (Cambridge, Newton: travel, job, universities)

[ilustre]

Hello,

I just accepted a job working in Worcester, MA. I am considering living in Boston and "reverse-commuting" into Worcester each day. I would like to be able to take advantage of what the city of Boston has to offer, in addition to possibly taking some classes to continue my education out of universities there.

Can someone speak to that commute? I think I would do it by rail if possible, but looking online it does not seem like the commuter rail is set up to facilitate travel in that direction at those times. I would need to be at work in Worcester by 7:30 AM.

Thanks!

If you live really close to the Pike in Boston, you could get on it to Worcester and you'd be earlier than traffic, besides going the opposite way. Think Back Bay, South End, Allston/Cambridge (think parking...)
You could also consider an outlying area near Boston, where it would be easy to get to the Pike or into the city- Waltham, Arlington, Newton. These are urbane areas in their own right, not suburbo, and a short hop into town or outta town.
Good luck. I think you've picked the right place to look for a place to live!
