Hey everybody,

 My name is Ben Ward and I'm a sophomore at Haverford. My hometown is Wellesley, MA which is a suburb of Boston. I live about 20 min from the center of Boston. Personally I don't mind the cold weather that much, but a lot of my friends and family complain about the winter. Also, 


One thing I like about my hometown is our public schools. My town is known for having one of the best public high schools in MA.  Additionally, there are 2 central train stations in my town which make commuting to Boston much easier than driving.

Hi, Ben.

I'm one of those annoying people who despise the winter (achy joints and I'm from the South, though I have lived in the Midwest so I'm not a complete stranger to harsh winters). I've never been to Boston but I wanted to ask what your favorite things to do there are.

Hi Ben,

Thanks for sharing! I personally hate cold weather and want to move away from Pennsylvania. I wonder how city layouts differ in different climates? Do you prefer public transportation?
