Harvard is one of the most famous universities in the world. It’s not easy to study there, though. The academic standards are high and the fees are really expensive.
You don’t need to go to Harvard to enjoy studying English in Boston, though. There are loads of independent English language schools in Boston and many of the large chain schools such as EF have their headquarters there.
Boston is a great place if you are interested in history. There are lots of interesting historic buildings and great museums. Although there are no ancient buildings in Boston, there are well preserved historic buildings dating back to the early 1700s.
Because of the high student population, Boston has a thriving arts scene and it a great place to get involved with creative activities when you are not busy studying.
Boston is a very safe city with a low crime rate but it can be expensive with prices comparable to New York. If you can afford it, though, studying English in Boston could be an amazing experience.
