This week on Her Campus BC we are focusing on the warm, sunny days ahead of us in the spring. With warmer temperatures and longer days, spring is the perfect time to take the T into Boston and partake in the many options Boston has to offer. Take a break from homework and venture into Boston before the semester is over!

Boston Duck Tours

Some highlights on the tour include the Esplanade, Beacon Hill, TD Garden, Cheers, and the Old State House.

Faneuil HallFaneuil Hall is always a fun trip with exciting entertainment, food, and shops.
