Internationally recognized as the educational capital of the United States, Boston is home to more than 60 colleges and universities, creating an atmosphere rich with artistic, social and intellectual opportunities. Outside of the classroom, CELOP students can explore America's early history by walking the Freedom Trail, attend a performance at the Boston Ballet, cheer on the Red Sox, Boston's professional baseball team at Fenway Park, shop along elegant Newbury Street or simply relax in the Public Garden. There are many opportunities for weekend trips along the East Coast, where students can go sightseeing in New York, feast on lobster in Maine, hike New Hampshire's White Mountains, or ski the slopes of Vermont. All of these destinations are an easy drive or bus ride from the BU campus.
