Yeah, it’s in Medford. You can see the Boston skyline from campus. But it doesn’t take 45 minutes to reach downtown Boston. It depends if you take their shuttle bus or walk, if you use the BUS versus the subway, etc. But by no means does it take 45 minutes.

Indeed, even if you are on the side of campus farther from Davis Square, it still would take only about 28 minutes, using public transportation, to get to downtown Boston (mapquest confirms this). And that’s from the side of campus that is FARTHER from Davis Square (it’s faster if you are on the side of campus that is CLOSER to Davis Square).

That’s a huge difference from 45 minutes. In fact, that’s 60% shorter. And that’s from the side of campus, that again, is FARTHER from Davis Square.

Indeed, you can take that bus, or the campus provides a free shuttle as well to Davis. But plenty of students also walk if it’s a nice day or whatever.
