Great Place to LiveIn Boston, your next adventure is right outside
your door. CBS News ranks Boston the No. 3 most
walkable city in the US—you are always just steps
away from where you need to be. Follow the
cobblestone streets to Suffolk’s home on Beacon
Hill, a neighborhood in the heart of downtown
Boston. For a breath of fresh air, you can explore
the Boston Public Garden and Boston Common—
both a close walk from campus. You can also zip
around town on the nation’s first subway.
Experience all four seasons in this coastal New
England city. Enjoy the warm autumn colors
during the East Coast’s most popular season.
Watch the winter snow cover the downtown
rooftops. Wait for the spring blossoms to arrive
in the gardens. Bask in the summer sun along the
harbor. Boston is beautiful year-round.
Exciting ExperiencesAlso known as “Titletown,” Boston is home to a
number of professional sports teams which all
have won national championships, like the New
England Patriots, Boston Celtics and Boston Red
Sox. Watch an American football, basketball or
baseball game with a Bostonian to really feel like
a local.
Boston’s attractions go beyond the arena. Visit
the shops along Newbury Street, where you’ll
find boutiques and restaurants. Travel through
time on the Freedom Trail, the famous path that
pays homage to the American Revolution. Catch
a concert at Faneuil Hall or a local venue hosting
up-and-coming artists. And don’t forget to bring
your appetite—according to Sperling’s Best
Places, Boston is the No. 7 foodie destination, so
your next best meal is just around the corner.
Opportunities for Your FutureBoston offers many options for internships or
to start your career after graduation. One of the
Smithsonian Institute’s “Places of Innovation,”
Boston is home to 10 Fortune 500 companies,
1,420 financial firms, 1,877 law firms, 1,911
technology companies and a number of design
and media outlets, such as:
