I've been looking at Northeastern University as one of my top choices, but I'm a bit confused about exactly where it's based. I know it's somewhere in Boston, but could anyone clarify its exact location or neighborhood? I'm just trying to get a better sense of the area since I'm planning a visit soon, and I'd like to explore the surroundings while I'm there.
Northeastern University is located in Boston, Massachusetts, in the Fenway/Kenmore, Symphony, and Roxbury neighborhoods. The main campus is situated around Huntington Avenue, which is often referred to as the "Avenue of the Arts" due to the numerous museums and arts institutions nearby, such as the Museum of Fine Art and Symphony Hall.
There's a lot to see and explore! The Fenway/Kenmore neighborhood, in particular, is best known as the home of the famous Fenway Park, where the Boston Red Sox play. This area tends to have a vibrant atmosphere with several restaurants, shops, and other green spaces like the Back Bay Fens, a large park within walking distance from campus. You'll also be close to the Back Bay and Downtown areas, which offer shopping, dining, historical sites, and waterfront views.
So depending on your interests, there is definitely a lot you could do before or after your campus visit. Happy exploring!
