Just eight miles from campus, Boston is an extension of our classrooms, a hub for cultural exploration, and a source of weekend fun.<\/p>\n

Boston\u2019s resources profoundly affect how we can think about educating young people. The countless options within minutes of our traditional, scenic campus mean that Boston\u2019s educational and cultural assets are an integral part of the Milton experience. Not only do we connect with the world-class universities and artistic institutions, but also with the distinguished writers, historians, scientists, musicians, scholars, artists and changemakers in this dynamic city.<\/p>\n
