My relatives live in Lincoln Park. Chicago is much, much, much bigger. If you drive an hour and 1/2 from BU, you are either on Cape Cod (S), almost to the NY border in the Berkshires (W), or above Portsmouth, NH, somewhere in Maine (N). If you live at BU, most of what people think of as Boston is within a 2 to 3 mile ring that reaches from Harvard Square in Cambridge down to the waterfront and across Brookline over to Jamaica Plain (a neighborhood). That includes all of the tourist and shopping Boston, all the museums, etc.
