Boston
and Surrounding Area
 |
Boston
has long been recognized as one of the leading health
care centers of the world. With more than 40 teaching
and community hospitals along with countless other
health care facilities, the health care industry
is a major employer in the Boston area. The city
is also known for its strong network of health centers
that serve the needs of neighborhood communities.

| Boston
is rich in history, old-world charm, and modern vitality.
The site of many significant events in early American
Colonial and Revolutionary history, Boston retains much
of that early flavor in its cobbled streets and historic
landmarks. As a historic seaport, Boston has also been
the entry point for many immigrants. You can experience
Boston's diversity just by following the Freedom Trail
which will take you through the Italian North End, Faneuil
Hall, Chinatown, Beacon Hill, then on to a Swan Boat ride
in the Public Gardens. |

As
well as history, Boston is also a showcase for the arts.
The Boston Ballet, Boston Symphony and Pops are all located
in the heart of the city, as well as the world-renowned
Museum of Fine Arts and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum.
If science is more your taste, then hop over to the Museum
of Science with its interactive exhibits, the Computer
Museum or the New England Aquarium, one of the foremost
in the world. |

For
the hiker or skier, the mountains of New Hampshire and
Vermont are but a few hours away by car, as are the
picturesque shores of Maine. Beaches to the north and
south, including the famous shores of Cape Cod, are
within easy reach by car or bus.
A
splendid place to study, work, or just relax, Boston
is consistently voted one of the most desirable US cities
in which to live.
