[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you are taking Amtrak, don't choose North Station. It's a fake option because the only Amtrak train that uses that station goes to Maine and back.

Do you have a particular school you want to get a feel for? You can go anywhere in Boston and be close to colleges and universities by T. You could stay in Cambridge and focus on Tufts, Harvard, MIT, Leslie(?). Those schools would also be very accessible from Beacon Hill, and you would also be closer to Emerson. If you wanted to focus on Northeastern/BU/BC you could stay in Copely Square and it's an easy trip on the T.

Northeasten/MassArt/Simmons are all by the Isabella Steward Gardner Museum and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts (all closest to Back Bay)

You could stay in the Seaport (South Station) and be close to Faneuil Hall and lots of tourist/boston History stuff.

But in any case, Boston is very small so even if you come into the "wrong" station it won't cost you much time.

You could also do a day trip to Providence or stop in Providence for a night on your way up. Brown, RISD, and JWU are all right downtown as are a million hotel rooms, and Providence College is a quick uber.[/quote]

Thank you so much for all your ideas and recommendations.  I booked the train and hotel in Back Bay before checking back here.  Is there good mass transit to Harvard/Tufts?  What is Leslie?

You can take the T, or just take an uber. As others have said, it's a small place so Ubers aren't that expensive.

Use google maps for public transit, it will tell you what station/T to take.[/quote]
