Boston is a vibrant city that is full of history. From the Boston Tea Party to the Battle of Bunker Hill and the Midnight Ride of Paul Revere, our city has seen some of the pivotal times in our nation’s growth. Boston is the largest city in New England but it’s easy to quickly find your way around. Walking along the streets of Boston (we recommend a walk along the Freedom Trail) you can still visit many of the city’s famous landmarks.
Boston is also home to a wide number of universities and major health care institutions. In fact, the city has the nation’s highest concentration of colleges, with many alumni who stay after graduation to work and live in the city. Most of our residents currently live around the hospital in the Chinatown and South End neighborhoods and in the suburbs in Somerville and Assembly Square.
One of the things Boston is best known for is its sports teams and fanatical fans. The Celtics, Bruins, Patriots, and Red Sox all call Boston home. Here at Tufts we root for all of the local teams.
If sports aren’t your jam, you can also enjoy a variety of more laid back free-time activities including tasting your way through the variety of restaurants throughout Boston or attending a show (ballet, musical theater, and stand-up comedy!) around the corner from work.
