Boston - A World Class City!
The city of Boston is rich in history and alive with cultural, educational, and recreational opportunities. There is a reason Boston is called the "Hub City." This is where the seeds of the American Revolution were planted, and the Freedom Trail offers an informal tour of several famous historical sites. Boston is a major center for the arts, with internationally regarded museums, a rich theatre tradition, and a busy concert schedule featuring A-list entertainers. And a half a million people crowd the Esplanade every July 4th for the Boston Pops concert and Fireworks Spectacular.
Boston is a dynamic sports hub as well, with teams representing all four major sports, not to mention the world-famous Boston Marathon and the annual Head of the Charles Regatta. Unique cafes and eateries, shopping for things large and small and much more is only a few steps or an MBTA subway ride away! With more than thirty colleges and 250,000 students surrounding Fisher College, you will be right in the middle of the largest center of college activity in the country.
