Accepted! Boston Spring College Visits

Decisions. Decisions. By late March, college students around the country will be receiving college acceptance letters. Boston is known as “America’s College Town” with more than 50 colleges and universities in the area. Accepted high school seniors and their parents may need to plan a Boston spring visit to take one last look at a college before making that final- and important- choice.

That first tuition will be due soon. And college visits can be expensive-transportation, hotel, and eating out expenses can quickly add up to a serious chunk of change.  The Boston Convention and Visitor’s Bureau is making it easier for high school seniors and their families to explore their college options with its “Accepted Student Days Discount Program”. The promotion runs from March 12-April 30 and features lots of Boston-area money-saving travel offers. For Mom and Dad, there are restaurant deals and special  hotels rates from as little as $75 that include extras like free parking and Charlie Card T passes.  For the kids, there are  discounts on shopping -including teen favorite Faneuil Hall Marketplace- and fun attractions savings like 2-for 1 pricing on Boston Glider’s Segway Tours.
