BuzzFeed’s sarcastic listicle, “31 Reasons You Should Never Go To School in Boston,” is a genuine hat tip to the best the Hub has to offer. Now, having said that, we have a couple of notes. Thirty-one notes to be exact.

These are all in good fun. (Are they?)

Yes.

1. Your parents won’t have time to comment on how hideous the city is because Commonwealth Avenue. Also: Going to Boston College? Great, you’re in Chestnut Hill.

2. It’s not exactly “lame.” But it’s still relatively short and – at least for the next couple of years – there’s a glut of unsightly cranes.

3. Public Garden – beautiful. But let’s be real: the campus you’ll be stuck with is Allston.

4. And between “Christmas,” the B Line, and the rats, Allston can’t really get any worse.

5. Seriously. Tropical storms wreak havoc on this annual tradition.

6. Again, not exactly “boring.” But you will see someone throw up on something they shouldn’t throw up on.

7. Libraries?

8. OK, fine. The Brattle Book Shop is a gem.

9. South Station does have one of the “best” McDonald’s in the city. The gentlemen who offer rides outside the main entrance on Sunday nights are straight shooters, too.

10. No one goes to the campus sock hop anymore. There is Tinder, and, from what this writer’s heard, it’s terrifying.

11. Kind of, though. Bars close early. Late-night T service might not be a thing when you get here. And you can only go to Tavern in the Square in Allston so many times.

12. Newbury Street is expensive and there are quite a lot of vacant storefronts.

13. Well that, and, since Boston teams usually underperform, the ticket prices are embarrassingly affordable.

14. Got me there. Touché.

15. That is Downtown Crossing. So yes, if you’re planning on having a night in DTX, there’s a good chance you’ll be riding solo.

16. Sausage stands are unique to Boston.

17. And you’ll be stuck eating on Hanover Street, too, because you’re a first-timer and you haven’t bothered to check out Salem Street.

18. If you’re a Mike’s Pastry person, you’ll have to eat it inside Modern Pastry.

19. Not entirely true. There’s also Chipotle, Boloco, and that Qdoba by the TD Garden.

20. Damn it. Foiled again.

21. Pass.

22. UGHHHHH.

23. Except it kind of does, though. You’ll be so tempted to jump in that its serenity won’t be worth it.

24. Not when they freeze over in the winter time they don’t. Or…if you’re a cyclist.

25. Right, because all your friends have gone back home. Or the Charles River is still frozen.

26. ?

27. Maine is only a couple hours north.

28. Dunkin’ Donuts.

29. Once you hear “Season’s greetings!” over the loudspeakers for the 114th time you will.

30. But there’s a 97 percent chance your school took you on at least two field trips to the Freedom Trail.

31. In all honesty, Boston is rather nice.
