Boston University's Charles River Campus runs along Commonwealth Avenue in Boston, close to Kenmore Square and Fenway, and the university was founded in 1839. Unlike Cambridge, it sits inside the city, so a campus visit is easy to combine with Boston's museums, harbor and neighborhoods.

Visitlandia does not teach, sell or represent Boston University programs. We manage the travel side for groups that come to Boston to visit the university or take part in a course there: hotel, transfers, meals, city tours and local organization, with one contact for the whole stay.
