Life Around Campus

Best of Both Worlds

Just 25 minutes from campus, the exciting city of Boston is at your doorstep.

Visit Fanueil Hall with its many shops and restaurants, the Boston Museum of Science, the New England Aquarium, or walk the historic Freedom Trail.  See the World Champion Boston Red Sox, root for the New England Patriots and see the Celtics and Bruins.  Or check out the chic boutiques on Newbury Street. 

Walk along and shop on Main Street in Andover.  Hit Starbucks, catch a quick dinner with friends at Fuddruckers or browse in the cozy Andover Bookstore. Visit national parks in Lowell and in Lawrence, cities born of the Industrial Revolution and major players in its history.

Beaches and Skiing

Skiing and other winter sports are easily accessible in Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont. And, during the warm weather, the coastal towns of Portsmouth, Ogunquit, Kennebunkport, and Cape Cod, are all within easy driving distance of Merrimack.
