Boston

Boston

Boston is the most important city in New England and is also one of America’s most historic large cities.

Few cities in the world can be considered a center for world-class art, theater, architecture, dance, literature, education and sports. But Boston has it all.

Fenway Park, the Boston Commons, FAO Schwarz, The Boston Aquarium, The Hancock Building: so many world-renowned icons in one place!

Of course Boston is probably most famous for being the home of Harvard University. The city has a student population of over 200,000 students and is home to more than 50 colleges.

Boston is an exciting city of contrasts with many cultural highlights, fine parks and gardens and a wide range of cafés, shops and restaurants.

Students at this centre are able to enjoy the features and attractions of one of America’s oldest and most exciting cities.
