<p>We looked at two of those three a couple of years back (NEC/Tufts and Peabody/JHU.) The feeling I came away with from both NEC and Peabody was that they considered these programs way beyond the reach of all but a few of their most highly-motivated and academically-capable students per year. They made the programs available but strongly recommended against them for almost everyone.</p>
<p>There is a school-run shuttle between Tufts in Medford and NEC that runs about six or seven times a day when Tufts is in session. Otherwise, the trip would take a ride on two different subway lines in addition to either a short bus trip or a 10-15 minute walk.</p>
<p>JHU also provides a shuttle between Peabody and the Homewood campus. The distance is shorter and I believe the shuttle is a little more frequent than Tufts’.</p>
<p>I can’t say whether the situation at Eastman/Rochester is any better or worse because we did not look into that possibility.</p>
