Having a little trouble here, guys. Love the sound of Boston University and I'm thinking of making a trip. Where exactly is it situated?
Boston University (often referred to as BU) is conveniently located in the heart of Boston, one of the oldest and most historic cities in the U.S. It's in a neighborhood called Fenway-Kenmore, which gives it a distinctive urban college vibe.
The campus stretches along a section of Boston known as Commonwealth Ave and is very linear, meaning it's less of a "traditional" centralized campus and more like a long, straight line. The Charles River forms one boundary of the university, providing picturesque riverfront views.
Being in a major city, BU is close to various attractions that Boston has to offer including Fenway Park, Boston Commons, and the Museum of Fine Arts. It's also well-linked to other parts of the city through the MBTA public transport system, with several subway stations located nearby.
Hope that helps, and enjoy your visit! The city of Boston itself offers so much to explore and enjoy, beyond just what's on campus.
