Boston

Big-city attitude. Small-city appeal.

With the Boston Common at our front door and the Financial District's high-rise buildings curtaining the skyline, Emerson's location represents a dichotomy of old and new.  Our “campus on the common” borders both Chinatown and the Theatre District, and we are just a short walk away from the Massachusetts State House.

Other Boston attractions are easily accessible from Emerson by the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority.  The “T” was the first public transportation system in the United States, and it continues to transport commuters, tourists, and students from Boston to Cambridge and the surrounding areas.

Aside from the historical sights, cultural venues, and exciting nightlife, Boston represents America's greatest college town, with more than 250,000 undergraduate and graduate students soaking its streets. An old world town populated with new-world scholars and thinkers, Boston is the perfect place to further your education.

New England's capital for culture and entertainment.

Indulge your intellect at the Boston Public Library, the Museum of Fine Arts, the New England Aquarium, the Isabella Stuart Gardener Museum, or the Museum of Science, to name but a few.

Savor the sounds of our thriving music scene: from the Boston Symphony Orchestra, to regular concerts by world-renowned performers, to nightly shows by up-and-coming talents, to the Boston Globe Jazz and Blues festival.

Spend a Saturday in the stands: whatever your game – baseball, football, basketball, hockey, or soccer – Boston has a world-class team to cheer for.

Revel in our restaurants: with dining options including Afghan, Cajun, Caribbean, Chinese, Ethiopian, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Indian, Irish, Japanese, Mediterranean, Mexican, Middle Eastern, and a wide assortment of South East Asian cuisines – in addition to over two dozen farmer's markets – Boston's eateries offer international tastes and local flavor to tantalize any gourmand.

Boston: “The most European city in America,” “America's best college town,” and the perfect place to further your education.
