Living in Boston<\/span><\/h1>\n

Boston is a vibrant city that attracts a diverse group of students and young professionals. The city is large enough to offer the resources and modern conveniences of a metropolitan area, yet small enough to discover by foot in just a day or two. Each neighborhood in the Boston area has its own personality and something unique to offer. Time away from your studies is the perfect opportunity to explore the rich history, art and architecture, cultural events, and world renown sports teams of Boston.<\/p>\n

Be sure to check out this video<\/a> on the different neighborhoods in and around Boston.<\/p>\n
