4 - Very Good	momjr December 12 2009	This is a city campus, but it was nicer than I expected. The part along Commonwealth Ave. is very busy, but Bay State Road is charming, and the area along the river is nice. [View Full Report]

5 - Excellent	marymac November 08 2009	The campus is very urban. The Charles River borders the campus on the north. The campus doesn't have a fence around it nor a green. [View Full Report]
3 - Good	Rorystar July 22 2009	The campus is what I expected from a university in a city. It had lots of concrete and buildings. Near the river, though, there was more grass and sunny areas. [View Full Report]
4 - Very Good	sak09 April 10 2009	It's in the city so don't expect that traditional college campus. BUT, it is pretty nice in it's own little way. [View Full Report]
4 - Very Good	clinegirl April 04 2009	It is an urban and relativley modern campus, so there aren't really the old buildings seen at other campuses (I love the old buildings at campuses like Yale). [View Full Report]
3 - Good	imsolidmatter February 17 2009	The campus lacks the charm of a school like Boston College (though I prefer BU more). In some areas more than others it lacks architectural beauty & open space. [View Full Report]

2 - Fair	steelerfan513 March 24 2008	Completely urban feel made me hate the campus. Major road and T go right through middle of campus. T is convenient, but there is no definitive campus. [View Full Report]
4 - Very Good	sk8gr8fishkisser December 05 2007	For being in a city, there was a lot of green. The buildings were well maintained. There was a wee bit of construction, but it should be done before the fall of 2008. They're widening the sidewal [View Full Report]
