MIT-Harvard-Tufts is more doable than Harvard-MIT-BU because of having to transfer to a different line on the T for the second combo. Someone told me that it takes 20 minutes to walk from BU to Central Square (and less to MIT), but going from BU to Harvard Square on the T takes 45 minutes (it takes only 10 minutes by car in light traffic).

This is true! When we visited Harvard/MIT/BU we triangulated by staying at the Cambridge Ramada Inn. BU was literally a walk across the bridge, Harvard and MIT were each 15-20 minutes away by foot, and a relatively easy drive that avoided downtown Boston.
