There are some great AirBnB options - check the box for "entire place". Someone may end up on the floor, but at least you'd all be together with an average per head of around $100 for the weekend.

I'm not sure how difficult it will be to find lodging. There are at least 4 [commencement ceremonies](http://www.bostonzest.com/2014/09/boston-area-commencement-dates-spring-2015.html) that weekend, so you may have to look around a bit.
* Northeastern University - May 8, 2015
* Berklee College - May 9, 2015
* Emmanuel College - May 9, 2015
* Massachusetts College of Pharmacy - May 9, 2015 ("Dates Subject to Change")
There are smaller breweries [(Trillium)](http://www.trilliumbrewing.com/) and distilleries [(Bully Boy)](http://www.bullyboydistillers.com/) that may be worth checking out, depending on where you're staying. I've done the Bully Boy tour and thought it was interesting.
Not sure what your interests are, but the City of Boston has a reasonably good [Visitors Site](http://www.cityofboston.gov/visitors/).

Just as a heads-up, lodging out here is sort of stupid expensive. There's a Best Western just past the main city that charges $240 a night. I know if you use Hotwire you can get nice hotels downtown for about $150 a night, otherwise you'll need to consider being in a suburb or doing airbnb.

Medieval Manor is a lot of fun

I would also suggest Airbnb. My boyfriend and his friends (6 dudes) stayed in an airbnb house in Watertown recently. It was very affordable and they had a great time. I would definitely suggest checking it out. I think for the weekend it came out to be $100, tops for each person!

Harpoon is better than Sam Adams and is more central to downtown. +1 for Trillium, which is walking distance to Harpoon. Codzilla opens that weekend. It's a good way to see the Harbor and kill an hour. I could see myself tying one an at The Landing Bar on long wharf and then heading out on the Codzilla if the weather is nice. http://www.bostonharborcruises.com/codzilla/schedule-rates/ Sox are out of town that weekend; with any luck the Bruins will be in the playoffs. Even if you don't get tickets, I would go pregame by the Garden. Diner for a large group? Chinatown. China King is good for groups, I believe it is still BYOB.
