The school is very central: it's a few minutes' walk from the famous Boston Downtown Crossing shopping district, and Boston common. You can see a map on our Boston Downtown local information page.

Please see our Boston Downtown Accommodation section for full details. Homestays are a maximum of 60 minutes away by public transport, and often closer. Our primary residence is within 10 minutes' walk.

Some of our locations have the use of more than one student residence. However, there is sometimes one residence which we prefer, usually because of how near it is to the school, its quality, its size - or a combination of all of these things. We call this our 'primary residence' and it is the one you are most likely to be offered.

Please note that other options may only be available during certain seasons. We can discuss the best residence for your needs during the enrolment process; please feel free to ask for details of all options.

All our schools have wireless Internet access which is free and unlimited. Students can also use the school computers for free all day, but may have to wait during busy times.

The residence has wireless internet access in the lobby, business centres and coffee shop.

Homestays differ, and we cannot guarantee internet access. Please mention at the time of booking if it is important to you, and we will do our best to accommodate your requirements.

Please see our Boston Downtown photo gallery. If you would like to see more photos, just contact us. We can email you pictures that will help you to imagine life at Embassy Boston Downtown a bit more clearly.

Public transport is excellent in Boston, and the city has a reputation for heavy traffic, complicated road systems, and angry drivers! Parking is also expensive. With all this in mind, we'd recommend that you don't need a car.
