Fun Boston college facts! While @BU_Tweets's campus only occupies about a quarter of a square mile (169 acres) of @CityOfBoston, it's still about a 20 minute walk from COM Lawn to Nickerson Field on the opposite side of campus.
Or 15 minutes if you're late for class.
Boston is the location for over 30 colleges, universities, and community colleges.
There are over 150,000 college students typically moving into Boston in September.
While Boston comprises 10% of the state’s total population, it has 34% of the state’s total college enrollment.
