"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

Spring time in Beantown!

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!

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.

My first year at Emmanuel has brought so many great memories. Most of my memories have been with the great friends I’ve made here. One specific memory with my friends here was when we went out and explored the city before we all went home for Christmas break. We had planned a secret Santa between us but decided to go out to dinner off campus before. It was great to get off campus and explore the city, especially when it is all lit up for the holiday! In the Faneuil Hall area there were street performances that we stopped and watched and just enjoyed our time off campus. It was a great way to end the semester and escape the finals season before we all went home for break!

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.

My favorite memory of my first year on campus was exploring Boston and trying all different types of food. I loved walking around Boston; either to the Boston Public Library on a sunny day, just down the street along the Muddy River, or around the South End at the Winter Festival. There was always something to do and new to eat.

Can never miss a Celtics game!

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.

Within steps of campus are exciting things that the city offers, like an outdoor ice-skating rink outside the Time Out Market!

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

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.

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.
