That was my first time in Cambridge/Boston, and I've really come to adore the city from what I've seen of it. Boston is small, but not too small, and really geared towards college students. [View Full Report]

Cambridge is a very cool town! It's like a very, very, very small Boston. [View Full Report]

Cambridge and Boston! It's not New York but we're from New York--my daughter is looking for something different but not too different. [View Full Report]

A T station (the transit system for Boston) is located right next to the campus so it's easy to go into Boston or other places. Boston was surprisingly clean. [View Full Report]

I love Cambridge, especially when compared to New Haven or Princeton. It is small and somewhat crowded, but it has a lot to offer. [View Full Report]

HARVARD IS IN BOSTON... need I say more? There is so much to do in the city. Pop over to Newbury street if you like to shop (you will not be disappointed). [View Full Report]

Wonderful city with great public transportation and people of Boston were very friendly, much more so than on campus. [View Full Report]

There is so much Harvard spirit! The Coop sells a large selection of Harvard apparal. Cambridge and Boston life is so geared towards college students. I think any undergraduate would feel at home. [View Full Report]

Boston was really cool. Historical sites, great restaurants (try the Union Oyster House), and fairly friendly for all the stereotypes. You have to love the Boston accent, and there are TONS of colleges in the greater area. [View Full Report]
