-- Exploring Boston and Cambridge --

Both Boston and Cambridge are home to many world renowned universities such as Harvard University, MIT, Tufts University, Boston University, Northeastern University, Brandeis University, Wellesley College, Radcliffe and the Berklee College of Music, to name a few. These universities are all nearby or within a few miles of our conference location at Boston University. Boston and Cambridge are also home to many Revolutionary historic sites (see The Freedom Trail) as well as to many world famous museums, such as the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston and Harvard's Art Museums. Additionally, Boston and Cambridge and the surrounding areas offer many opportunities for sightseeing and recreation. Finally, for shopping, do not miss Boston's Newbury Street and surrounding neighborhoods, and for sports fans (Red Sox fans or not) Fenway Park is a must!
