From seeing Harvard's museums to exploring MIT and strolling through Boston University's Marsh Plaza, here's how travellers can experience the best of Boston's universities. Some cities run on money, while others run on politics, but Boston runs on learning. Ever since Harvard College was founded in 1636, a cool 140 years before the US became a nation, Boston's higher education institutions have been the preeminent driving force in the city's development. Nowadays, the Greater Boston area is home to dozens of colleges and universities, an ever-renewable source of creativity, energy and innovation, fuelling everything from arts and culture to science and technology to sports and recreation.
