Living in Cambridge/Boston
Boston is home to more than 50 colleges and universities. Not surprisingly, the city's social life is highly student-oriented.
While 'The Hub' is renowned for its rich history, it also boasts modern and diverse cultural attractions - from the Red Sox to the Museum of Fine Arts; from local bands to the Boston Symphony.
Cambridge combines the attractions of a cosmopolitan city with the charm of a New England town. Organized around traditional town greens, tree-lined squares, and the banks of the Charles River, Cambridge is one of metropolitan Boston's vital urban centers. One-of-a-kind shops, international restaurants, bookstores, and cafés are found throughout Harvard Square.
