I spent the spring term 2018 at UMass Boston and had a wonderful time with new friends and enriching academic input. I was enrolled in the graduate program “Applied Linguistics”, but also took classes in psychology and business administration for my area studies and linguistics modules. Recreational activities at UMass are diverse; canoeing in summer, the German club or the cheerleading team are just some examples. Living in the small waterfront community Harbor Point enabled me to not only enjoy a breathtaking view but to also profit from relaxing walks along the “Boston Harborwalk” to university.
Boston is a vibrant university town with a rich cultural heritage and some of the most famous academic institutions in the world. From taking a student-led tour on the Harvard campus, to discovering historical sights along the Freedom Trail or eating a traditional lobster roll at Quincy Market – there is something to do for everyone. New York or Washington are easy to reach by bus and the picturesque coastline of Maine is just a short drive away.
