Located in the Fenway district of Boston, Northeastern is surrounded by some of the finest attractions in one of America's oldest cities. Neighbor to the home field of the beloved Red Sox, Fenway Park, the university is in the middle of a constant flow of positive Bostonian energy. Just minutes away from such landmarks as Faneuil Hall, Quincy Market, Government Center and Beacon Hill, Northeastern students and visitors are surrounded by history and the impressive existence of such a modern, yet colonial city. Boston also provides a one of a kind setting for such a large university because of the fact that so many other small colleges and universities call this city home as well. Harvard, MIT, Boston University and Boston College come to mind almost immediately for most, but several other colleges; Simmons, Suffolk, Emmanuel, Emerson and Fisher, among many others, add to the vibrancy and diversity of the city, creating a unique environment for Northeastern students to be at the heart of.
