All of these comments are enough to convince me that NOT bringing my car when I move to the area in the fall is a very good idea.

Depends on where you end up living. Having a car if you can afford it can certainly make things easier.

But I haven't driven in years and am glad my sweetie is a native.

I'll be living between the Davis and Porter T stations, and near a bus line, so I should have lots of options for transportation. Plus I'll only be there a year for grad school. For that short amount of time, a car in Boston seems to be more hassle ane expense than it's worth.

In that case, it definitely is more trouble than it'll be worth, and that's coming from someone who's occasionally glad to be "with vehicle". You're going to be walking distance from a major social center (Davis), two different Red Line stops, a supermarket (big plus, even if it is one of the more expensive in the area), and so on. Good luck on the move, and welcome in advance to the area!

Thank you! I'm really looking forward to it.

Indeed. Bringing a car there will just get you a bunch of parking tickets. Just get zipcar if you need it.

Welcome in advance!

Oh, in that case, yeah, don't bother. If you were way out in Green Line slow hell, I'd have a different answer.
