Visit Activities:
Information Session:

We got lost on the way to the information session, and a summer student offered to bring us there, and gave us all sorts of information about the school.

The T goes right through the campus, making all of Boston very accessible.
City/Town/Community:

Boston is a great city. I'd imagine it may be a bit more student-friendly than NYC. It has plenty of museums and the city itself if quite beautiful.
