Home to more than 60 colleges and universities and 56 museums, Boston is a great place
to live, study, and play. You’ll find concerts, independent movie houses, coffeehouses, comedy clubs,
poetry slams—and a lot of art. Newbury Street, Fort Point, and the South End are
active gallery areas, and you’ll find at least 40 additional galleries in many
other areas of the city and surrounding areas. Boston is also a young city (100,000 students!), which means that the
cultural scene is constantly changing—with new film festivals, theatre groups,
and music groups (in addition to its many well-established cultural
institutions). Harvard Square’s eclectic street performers are just across the Charles
River. The Back Bay boasts a dizzying range of shops and eateries. And the
Fenway, where the SMFA is located, offers plenty of green areas for peace and
quiet.
