About this walk

Founded by a teaching order of nuns in 1919, Emmanuel was the first place Catholic women in New England could earn a college degree, and it stayed women-only for more than eighty years.

A campus is an argument in brick about what education is for. Boston has a long-running one. Four stops over 0.9 miles, about 50 minutes of walking. Each one starts talking the moment you reach it, so you can keep your eyes on the street instead of a screen.

Of the 50 MassRoam tours in Boston, this is the campus one. There is no start time to make — walk it in one go, or leave the rest for another afternoon.
