Boston University Medical Campus and the City of Boston

Boston has long been recognized as one of the leading health care centers of the world. Boston University Medical Campus, located in the South End of Boston, forms a semiautonomous but integral part of the University. It consolidates the resources and activities of the School of Medicine, School of Public Health, the Goldman School of Dental Medicine, Boston Medical Center, and units such as the Humphrey Cancer Research Center, Cardiovascular Institute and the Autism and MRI Centers. Under construction is Biosquare, a complex which will house specialized research facilities, biotechnology companies, and conference hotel and retail stores.

Boston is rich in history, old world charm, and modern vitality. Home to more than 60 colleges and universities, it is an intellectual and cultural center diverse in its people and stimulating in its opportunities, yet relaxed and accessible. Boston is the largest city in New England and the site of many significant events in early American Colonial and Revolutionary history. Much of that early flavor remains today in its cobbled streets, in its historic landmarks that bring alive Paul Revere's ride and the Boston Tea Party, and in the Federalist row houses on Beacon Hill. A historic seaport that grew to prominence in the days of the China trade and the whaling industry, the City maintains a thriving and picturesque waterfront.
