Hello all. My wife and I are moving to Basel in a few weeks to do post-doctoral work at the University of Basel Hospital. We come from the US, Boston specifically. We still have not found an apartment, but hope to get something when we arrive at the end of this month.

No specific questions for the forum yet, but I am glad we found this community and are looking forward to our time there.

Good luck in your move!! Its a nice time to be coming over.

Welcome to Switzerland folks. Take a look at comparis.ch and homegate.ch before coming - this should be your starting point. Then PM me for some more tips and tricks
Cheers

What specialism? Are us Baslers likely to find your knife in our glands?

Welcome to Basel! I'm sure you'll like this nice little city. Lots of ex-pats too.

I am also from Boston living in Basel. If you need any advice on the city or want to watch a Pats or Sox game feel free to let me know. Good luck with the move.
