Boston is a great place to start your college visits. There are so many colleges to explore in the Boston area, but I decided to start with 10 and build from there. The city is small and walkable, and the Boston transit system (MBTA), also known as the "T", provides an easy way to get around the city. Boston is full of historically significant sights to see and great restaurants. I added a few of them to the map as well.
If you decide to stay in the city, I recommend taking the T to see BU, BC, Emerson, and Northeastern (Green line), and Harvard, MIT, and Tufts (Red line). Reaching Tufts requires a short bus or taxi ride from the T station. From the center of Boston, Olin, Wellesley, and Brandeis are only slightly more challenging to reach and require taking MBTA commuter rail lines and then walking a short distance to the campuses. Details and links are provided on the map.
If you prefer to stay outside of the city and you have a car, you can drive to see Olin, Wellesley, Brandeis, and Tufts. To avoid driving around Boston's extremely confusing city center you could park at a commuter rail station (I chose Waltham as one example) and take the train into the city, reaching North Station. North Station provides access to both the Green and Red T lines.
Email me or post a comment if you would like to suggest something to be included on this map. I'm looking for recommendations for sights to see, restaurants, hotels, and general tips. If you have visited this college or are a student there, I'd like to hear about your experience.
