You’re in!

Part one of the Camberville Welcome Guide is on its way. Give it a couple of minutes.

It's the email series I wish someone had sent me when I moved here in 2021.

Three quick things

1. Double-check your spam folder. First emails from a new sender often land in spam or the Promotions tab. Dragging it into your inbox takes 5 seconds and teaches your email that we're friendly.

2. Take my one-click poll. The first email in the Welcome Guide asks how long you’ve lived in the Cambridge and Somerville area. Don’t worry, it’s not a test! But sharing will help me tailor the content and events.

3. Know someone else unpacking boxes? Send them newtocamberville.com. People tend to arrive in groups: the same lab, the same residency program, the same three friends who moved together.

What happens next

Five short emails on making friends and feeling at home here, spread over the next couple of weeks.

After that, the Thursday email: what's actually worth leaving your apartment for, in Cambridge and Somerville, that week.
