BU's main campus is just a walk or T-ride away from one of my favorite places in the whole city, Newbury Street.
The boutique stores and restaurants were incredible, and the brownstone townhouses, streets lined with trees, and shorter buildings reminded me of my favorite parts of London, like Notting Hill. In American cities like Atlanta and Miami, walkable streets tend to be difficult to find. And in New York City, a place I considered moving to for college, I found the towering sizes of the buildings overwhelming.
Boston is like London because you can actually see the sky, and both cities are breathable urban jungles.
