Cambridge Massachusetts is a city with a unique mix of cultural and social diversity as well as technical innovation. Cambridge is home to renown establishments of higher education-among them Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Over one fourth of its residents are college students and one sixth of all its jobs are in higher education. But Cambridge is far more than only a college town. It has long been an industrial innovator and at one point it was the third largest industrial center in the Commonwealth. Former factory buildings now house cutting edge firms focused on the latest emerging technologies.
Cambridge is rich in diversity and more than one in five residents is foreign born. Students from 64 different nations attend the public schools and 46 different languages are spoken here!
Cambridge is located along the Charles River just to the west of Boston. It is accessible to the world through its many public transportation options. It is also accessible via major roadways which include Route 2 and the Massachusetts Turnpike (Interstate 90).
An out of town visitor can expect to enjoy one of Cambridge?s many parks, attend one of its numerous cultural festivals, shop in its many retail areas that include Harvard Square and Central Square and dine in any one of its top shelf of neighborhood restaurants. No matter what part of the world you hail from, you will find yourself at home in Cambridge.
