Boston is home to some of the world’s best educational institutions. Ergo, its no surprise that Boston University catches the interest of those who visit the city. Located on Charles River, the campus offers scenic beauty and architectural diversity, as the contrasting architecture of the old and new parts of the campus complement each other. Iconic skyscrapers such as the Student Village tower hold their own against compositional masterpieces like the Marsh Plaza (built in the 1960s), making it an ideal destination for art devotees. Tourists can also savor the historical flavor of the city within the campus by visiting the “Free At Last” sculpture dedicated to the university’s most celebrated alumni, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Be it the university’s magnificent setting, it’s awe inspiring architecture, it’s history, or it’s academic importance, Boston University has something for everyone and is a must see for Boston visitors.
