Boston & New England

Boston is a wonderful city, the largest in New England, and the site of many significant events in early American Colonial and Revolutionary history. Home of the world-famous Boston Symphony Orchestra and the Boston Pops, the city offers a wealth of music from opera to rock, jazz, and reggae. Many dance and theatre groups perform regularly, and dozens of museums include the world-renowned Museum of Fine Arts, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, the Institute of Contemporary Art, and the Museum of Science.

Famously enthusiastic about its professional sports teams, Boston supports the Red Sox, the New England Patriots, the Celtics, and the Bruins. Each April, the Boston Marathon passes through the Boston University campus.

Beaches to the north and south, including the famous shores of Cape Cod, are within easy reach by car or bus. For the hiker or skier, the mountains of New Hampshire and Vermont are a few hours away by car, as are the picturesque shores of Maine.
