Flag Review - This school has great academics, the people are amazing, and the professors are very helpful and knowledgeable. The classes are challenging, the content is interesting, and there is so much help. The school is a great community, with something always going on, and everyone knows each other. Also, it's right in the middle of Boston, so there is so much to do, and you make great professional networks and contacts starting freshamn year.
