Why Boston?
Boston is just the right size: not too big, not too small. It has a cosmopolitan feel, with people from all over the world, yet it’s not overwhelming. Unlike many American cities, Boston has public transportation that makes it easy to get around without a car - something especially helpful for international students. And because Suffolk is right in the heart of the city, the subway, buses, and commuter rail all have stops and stations nearby.
Favorite Food(s)
I live in Spain—so everything from traditional paella and Spanish omelet to new fusion.
