Cambridge

Sometimes called the "Home of the Literati", and the "Left Bank" of Boston, the City of Cambridge is the county seat of Middlesex County, and is located on the west side of the Charles River opposite Boston proper.

Cambridge is universally admired and respected as a center of learning and scholarship, primarily because it is home to Harvard University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology, among the world's most prestigious educational institutions.

Additional places of interest include Arthur M Sackler Museum, Busch-Reisinger Museum, Houghton Library, Radcliffe Institue for Advanced Study, Lesley University, and Straus Center--Harvard University.
