<p>I don’t think Tufts is that far from Boston. It’s two subway stops away from Harvard which is one stop away from MIT (this is on the redline). Map wise, perhaps it looks far. However, with the subway system it’s pretty easy to get into Boston. I think BC is harder to get into Boston because of the green-line. However, I consider BC as part of Boston and it would be silly not to include it. The distance from Holy Cross to Boston is akin to crossing Rhode Island (literally). Worcester is so lol.</p>
