read every book ever published…
take a walk through history…
experience the culture of many nations…
absorb endless learning…
hear music for all ears…

I would be in Cambridge.
It's no wonder that Cambridge is so often referred to as "Boston's Left Bank" with an atmosphere -- and attitude -- all its own. It's a city where Old World meets New Age in a mesmerizing blend of history and technology. As Bon Appetit magazine notes, "Cambridge wears its traditional Ivy League tweediness with splashes of bold color. Museum browsers and book lovers, jazz junkies, café habitues and, yes, fans of spicy foods love this city."

Packed with international flair and a youthful vitality. Cambridge is also the birthplace of higher education in America. Harvard College was founded in 1636. And across town 360 years later, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is renowned as the epicenter of the emerging cyberculture.

A global village filled with more than 28,000 students from over 100 countries, it would be easy to characterize Cambridge as just another college town -- but it is far more than that.

Cambridge is a city where counter-culture still lives, classic culture thrives, and multicultural is a way of life.
