About this walk

A downtown college built for the people who keep the city running, teaching in Spanish, Chinese and Haitian Creole at the edge of Boston Common.

A campus is an argument in brick about what education is for. Boston has a long-running one. Five stops over 1.3 miles, about an hour 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.
