Fisher College is located right in the heart of one of the East Coasts largest metropolitan areas - the City of Boston.

Walk the streets of Boston and history is around you everywhere. You'll come for the Revolutionary sites along the Freedom Trail, but the seasoned Boston traveler will know to search out the unusual - like the Ether Dome, where ether was first used - and the bizarre - the small bocce court in the North End built along the path of the Great Molasses Flood of 1919.

But that's only a part of your visit to Boston! From museums to pro sports, from fresh seafood to Italian cuisine, Boston has something for everyone. It's also a great place to start your exploration of New England.

One of America's oldest cities (founded in 1630), Boston remains one of its most European in feel. Like many European cities, Boston is best explored on foot. Make sure to wear some comfortable shoes to explore the Freedom Trail(which links key historic sites downtown by way of a red line painted on the sidewalk), the Public Garden, the bookshops and other stores of Harvard Square.

The New England Region

New England is a region of the United States located in the northeastern corner of the country, consisting of the states of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and Connecticut.

Plymouth was the second successful English settlement in the New World, founded by Pilgrims fleeing religious persecution in Europe in 1620. In the late 18th century, the New England colonies would become the first of the North American British colonies to demonstrate ambitions of independence from the British Crown, although the region, as a whole, would later oppose the War of 1812 between the United States and Britain.

In the 19th century, it played a prominent role in the movement to abolish slavery in the United States, hosted the first pieces of American literature and philosophy, was home to the beginnings of free public education, and was the first region of the United States to be transformed by the North American Industrial Revolution.

Today, New England maintains a role of historical, cultural, and political importance in the United States. It is known for a unique mixture of old Protestant individualism and European liberalism.
