Access Academia
With over 50 higher learning institutions and top boarding schools in the Boston area, academia is not just a lure to our city, it has shaped who we are, what we value, and how we’ve strived. If you’re coming to town with a prospective student, let The Uncommonwealth set up an itinerary that goes way beyond the typical school tour. Learn about what Harvard students really think about the John Harvard statue and how Oliver Smoots became a bona fide unit of measure during his time at MIT. Take in stories about the schools’ founders, when the first women were admitted, who are the most famous (and infamous) alumni, and more. Get the insider’s view on where college students love to unwind when not on campus.
You won’t just get to know the school; you’ll fall in love with a city. If you have a graduating senior or you’re in town for a reunion, we’re here for you, too. Imagine your crew on a champagne boat tour basking in the sun or reminiscing in the moonlight as you float by your alma mater. Cheers!
