Massachusetts College of Art and Design is a prestigious college of visual and applied art. Founded in 1873, Massachusetts College of Art - or Mass Art, as it is commonly called - is the only publicly funded art school left in the country. Located in Boston's Fenway area, on the border of Mission Hill, MassArt is one of the schools that make up the Colleges of the Fenway. Due to the nature of student work, many art exhibitions are held at the college and are open to the public. In addition, more established and well-known artists often present their work at Mass Art's galleries.

Wentworth Institute of Technology is a private, co-educational college of design and engineering. The institution was founded in 1904 by Arioch Wentworth and a group of seven esteemed colleagues as an attempt to promote education in mechanical engineering and mechancial arts, two fields they believed to be grossly underrepresented in the world of higher education. Whether they study construction management or interior design, Wentworth students are always working on projects that have both a theoretical and "real world" application. Most of their programs include some sort of co-op during the third year of study, much like their neighbor Northeastern University.
While Wentworth is known to be predominantly male-populated college, they do boast the first female president (Zorica Pantic) ever to lead a technical institute.
As a member of the Colleges of the Fenway, Wentworth shares its facilities and resources with other local schools, often hosting events and concerts for the COF. Their cafeteria, gym, courses, and athletic fields are open for access to anyone who can furnish a COF ID.
Check out Povo's Guide to Wentworth Institute of Technology. Wentworth's notable alumni include the politician Stephen Lynch and the actor Matt LeBlanc of Friend's fame.

Founded in 1863, Boston College is one of the oldest and most respected private Jesuit colleges in the United States. More commonly referred to as BC, this university is not only home to one of the largest Jesuit communities in the world, but it continually ranks as one of the top 50 academic colleges in the United States. Located in stately Chestnut Hill, BC's main campus is 6 miles from downtown Boston and is a wonderful example of Gothic architecture and sprawling green lawns and quads. Although most students live in campus dorms, a majority of them spill out into the Allston/Brighton area and populate their bars and restaurants. Boston College is also known for their sports team, the BC Eagles, who continually almost win championships and have a large following from the students and fellow Bostonians.

From their website: This innovative technical institute owes its existence to the vision of Benjamin Franklin. In his will, Mr. Franklin bequeathed a gift to the "inhabitants of the Town of Boston" to help educate technical apprentices. In 1906, the managers of the Franklin Fund decided that a technical institute would best accomplish Franklin's original purpose. Aided by an additional gift from industrialist Andrew Carnegie and land donated by the City of Boston, BFIT opened its doors to students in 1908. Since then, BFIT has seen over 85,000 students benefit from its unique approach to technical education.
