Boston College is a coeducational, Liberal Arts Jesuit university with an undergraduate student population of 9,000. The campus, build in 1913, features the finest examples of Collegiate Gothic architecture in the United States and is quite visually stunning. The university's flagship building, Gasson Hall, towers above "the Heights" (the local term for the campus) and its bells can be heard for miles in all directions. The nearby towns of Newton, Chestnut Hill, Brookline, Brighton, and others provide upscale shopping and dining without the crowds of downtown Boston. BC is also very conveniently located near public transportation, and can be reached by three separate trains on the green line, as well as by the BC buses that run from the campus to Brookline. Stop in the McMullen Art Museum in Devlin Hall and admire the fine art, as well as the stunning architecture of the admissions building, chosen as the most beautiful building in Boston in 2006. Football games draw the largest crowds, so beware of driving nearby during game days. Boston College mixes the resources of a large research university with the individualized attention and strong community more often found in small Liberal Arts colleges, and both students and faculty benefit from this. Come and enjoy the rich history that the University is steeped in and take an unforgettable stroll around the campus! Review © 2007, Wcities |

Mother church |
175 Huntington Avenue Boston, MA 02115 United States +1 617 450 2000 http://www.tfccs.com info@churchofchristscientist.org |
The Romanesque Mother Church of the Christian Science religion is part of the sect's Boston headquarters. Mary Baker Eddy, a New Hampshire native who moved to Boston in 1881, founded the church in 1879. Members spurn modern medicine in favor of prayer-based healing. The church was built in 1894, and the reflecting pool along the building is a relaxing spot for people of all faiths. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Historic Anglican church |
Corner of School and Tremont Streets Boston, MA 02108 United States +1 617 523 1749 http://www.kings-chapel.org/ kchapel@kings-chapel.org |
This historic church, built in 1749 and part of the Freedom Trail, has the distinction of being the first Anglican congregation in the American colonies. Then, in 1787, it became the first Unitiarian church in the country. There is still an active congregation that uses the Anglican Book of Common Prayer. The interior is considered a paragon of Georgian architectural design. The church also has an historic cemetery. Admission is free. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Revolutionary war landmark |
193 Salem Street Boston, MA 02113 United States +1 617 523 6676 http://www.oldnorth.com church@oldnorth.com |
Still an active Episcopalian Church, this, the oldest religious structure in Boston, dates back to 1723 and occupies a special place in American history. On a fateful night in 1775, Paul Revere watched for the signal, "One if by land and two if by sea". After the church sexton hung two lanterns from the steeple he began his famous midnight ride to wake and warn the countryside of the British troops' arrival. Every April, members of the colonial militia begin a lantern service commemorating the event. Sunday services are at 9a and 11a. Admission is free. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Old South Church |

When this congregation was formed in 1669, it was a dissenting group from the First Church in Boston and was known as the Third Church. Famous historical members of this church's congregation included Benjamin Franklin, William Dawes, James Otis and Phillis Wheatley. These members worshipped at the Old South Meetinghouse, which was the home of this congregation at the time. The church moved to its current Boylston Street home in 1875. It is now a congregation of the United Church of Christ. Services are held every Sunday at 11a. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Where abolitionists gathered |
1 Park Street Boston, MA 02108 United States +1 617 523 3383 http://www.parkstreet.org/ info@parkstreet.org |
This historical church, which is a stop on the Freedom Trail, is down the hill from the State House. Built in 1809, the basement served as a gunpowder storage depot during the War of 1812. Abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison gave his first anti-slavery speech here and the Granary Burying Ground, where many famous early Bostonians are buried, is just steps away. The Federalist brick-and-wood building features a 217-foot steeple and granite steps. The church houses an active Congregationalist parish. Review © 2007, Wcities |
