The city of Cambridge stands adjacent to Boston, and is one of the greatest academic centers in the United States. Cambridge is the home of some 30,000 students who come to the Boston area from across the country and around the world to study at one of the oldest universities in the United States, Harvard, or one of the most advanced, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
Over 100,000 people live in this small city, and the educational community provides a diversity not often found in other towns of similar size. Here you will find the rich traditions of Harvard existing side by side with the rebelliousness of youth and the open-mindedness of a cosmopolitan community. Take a stroll through Harvard Square, reflect on the past at the Museum of Natural History at Harvard, or contemplate the future in one of the seemingly ever-present coffee shops filled with students and professors challenging and stimulating one another. Education is serious business in Cambridge and definitely worth a visit during your stay in Boston.
