How long from Fletcher School to Boston?

Graduate School
1

<p>The Fletcher school is one of the schools to which I'm applying. I'm not familiar with the actual town the schools in, and if it's possible/easy to get into Boston by train/subway. How long does it take? How much?</p>

<p>My fiance will be coming with me, so we're just thinking about if she gets work in the city....</p>

<p>The Fletcher school is about a 15 minute walk from the Davis Square T stop on the red line train. 6-8 stops on the train put you in downtown Boston. See mbta.com for more details.</p>

<p>Tufts is in Medford/Somerville, a close-in Boston suburb. Red</a> Line Subway Information, Schedules, Stops, and Maps Click on the Interactive Street Map to see where Medford/Somerville is.</p>

<p>This is correct (I live a couple of blocks from Tufts). I would actually say 8 is overkill if you're just trying to get into Boston (if you're going somewhere specific, that's different). 6 will put you at Park Street.</p>

<p>Not only that, but there are a couple of bus lines (the 74 and the 76, I think) that have stops at both Tufts and the Davis Square station, so if you're really lazy/disabled/looking at awful weather, you hardly even have to walk.</p>

<p>Tufts is 3 stops from Harvard Square (Cambridge), 6 stops from Park Street (center of subway system in downtown Boston).</p>

6

<p>And 8 stops from South Station (Amtrak, Greyhound, and Silver Line to the Airport)</p>

<p>I appreciate it guys...</p>

<p>I get the impression that living near Fletcher and working in Boston, or vice versa, is doable....</p>
