Summer in Boston

My favorite thing to do around Boston is definitely explore the city with my friends. Whether it’s going to Red Sox games with my friends, grabbing a coffee at Tatte or walking around Newbury Street, I love that we have the whole city of Boston at our reach.

I love going to Fan Pier Park in Boston’s Seaport District. There is a pavilion roof deck that has amazing views of the harbor.

"One example of many of the times I went on fun adventures with a friend/friends. My friends and I went around Boston and walked around the Boston Common and Garden then came back took this picture of my friend and I around Fenway". - Kasey Jiang

Flag Football Tournament!

One of my fondest fall memories at EC was getting tickets to a Red Sox game in September with a bunch of my friends! It was so fun to be together and be a part of a huge tradition that comes with being in Boston, cheering on the Sox!

Can never miss a Celtics game!

As a student at Emmanuel, you get free access to both the Museum of Fine Arts and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum! I take advantage of this a lot with my friends and we enjoy the beautiful garden and amazing artwork on display at the Isabella Stewart Gardner.

I always try to study and catch up on work outside as much as possible during the warm months. Secluded enough by the trees, but also still in the heart of campus, the picnic tables next to the Quad might just be my favorite spot!

You never know who you’ll meet in the city. This is a pic of me and Red Sox star Xander Bogaerts after a Major League Baseball playoff game.

We walked by some cool art on our way to Cambridge for dinner. It's just a T ride away!

"This picture was taken at Lawn on EC back in 2021. It was one of the first events after coming back from the virtual semester, so everyone was really excited to see each other! My friend Kayla and I went around to all the little activities they had at Lawn on EC which included the light up swings, axe throwing, and bull riding! It honestly felt like we never left!" - Brianna Chu

My favorite memory of my first year on campus was the day my friends and I went for a photoshoot after our classes. We all got dressed up and had a tourist day during the Fall semester so we could see what was around campus. Rather than choosing destinations we just walked. In our time out we managed to hit a majority of the tourist spots in the EC area. During our little adventure we saw the Prudential Center, the Boston Public Library, Newbury Street and Fenway Park. The next day our feet had been a bit sore, but that was nothing a little girls night in couldn’t fix. In the end we got super cute photos, a little taste of what Boston has to offer, and an unbreakable bond with new friends, which is all I could ever ask for.

Spring time in Beantown!
