Widely known as ‘Beantown’ after its proficiency in Baked Beans production, Boston is famed for the superb educational premises located in the city, including two of America’s most prestigious universities – M.I.T and Harvard. The large student population gives the town somewhat of an edgy, energetic vibe, and also contributes to the relatively diverse population. For those that have an active interest in history, there are also numerous museums around the city. Away from history and education, sports is a huge part of the city’s culture, with the Boston Red Sox being one of the most famous baseball teams in the world.
