Around Town

Boston.

There are many events going on simultaneously; and ALL are at our disposal across schools. It is incredible. There is never a dull moment in Cambridge. Harvard Square alone can occupy an entire day. There are restaurants, museums, shops, galore.

This past summer I spent six weeks in the Boston area. It was a great city, with lots of things to do. The college town atmosphere is also really cool.

Right outside of Harvard's main campus is Harvard Square, with great shops and places to eat. Beyond that, is a T Station that puts all of Boston at your finger tips. You can go shopping in the North End, go see the amazing historical sights like Freedom Trail, a concert, improv show, or any of Boston's professional sports teams [Red Sox, Patriots, Celtics, Bruins]. Plus, there's always fun stuff to do on campus!

Harvard Square is full of places to shop, eat, and socialize. There are nearby theaters to view talented productions of different plays and musicals, and museums to explore, all within walking distance. Harvard is also located conveniently close to the subway system that can get you around to nearby Boston for a few dollars. If weather permits, plan on walking the Freedom Trail or along the harbor in Boston.

There is a lot to do @ Harvard Food Games And Fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Depends on the person. There are usually bigger and better parties elsewhere.

Definitely suggest going to the many shows put on by the theater department every year. They are completely student run and generally very cheap. A capella groups are an amazing experience as well. The sports games are a ton of fun. If you ever find yourself bored on the weekend and not in the mood to party, there is always a great offering of free Harvard-sponsored events

The beach and city are right by so well, use your imaginaton.

If you like exploring libraries, you'Â?ve come to the right place. I'm only kidding a little bit: they are seriously awe-inspiring. If that's not your cup of tea, Harvard Square is the ideal college town, with lots of quality, affordable food (especially pizza), a movie theater, great places to walk and stuff open until 2:00 a.m. I'm told the party scene isn'Â?t what it is other places, but if you want to dance you can find somewhere to do it. Granted, I'm not the type for partying, but the environment and the people around me were so stimulating that I never found myself with a lack of things to do.
