THINK BOSTON

Fenway ParkBoston's rich history and culture remain evident despite tremendous growth and innovation. Just a short trip away from campus—on foot or by public transportation—you'll find world-class museums, music venues, theaters, and restaurants. For those who enjoy outdoor activities, Boston offers a multitude of green parks. It's also easy to access New England's mountains, beaches, and historic towns. Plus, the BU campus is a stone's throw from Fenway Park, home of the Boston Red Sox. If you like sports, culture, and outdoor activities, this is your town.
