<p>Chestnut Hill is indeed a neighborhood, part of which is in Newton, part in Brookline, and part in Boston. BC borders directly to Boston (and some field or corner may technically be in Boston), but the campus and the law school campus are almost entirely in the Newton part of Chestnut Hill. The school refers to the undergraduate campus as the [“Newton</a> Campus.”](<a href=“http://www.bc.edu/about/maps/s-newton.html]"Newton”>http://www.bc.edu/about/maps/s-newton.html)</p>
<p>All that being said, the Green Line ride from the Cleveland Circle (in the Brighton neighborhood of Boston and a < 5 minute walk from the campus) is a very pleasant and brief ride that brings you to Fenway Park and Government Center. Downtown Boston and Cambridge are as accessible as they could be, but are too far to walk.</p>
