At the start of each June, the city of Boston heaves a sigh of relief as the student population leaves for the summer; I’ve read reports that suggest this is approximately 20% of Boston’s population.
Their departure is immediately obvious to anyone who lives in Boston. The student population and the academic institutions that instruct these men and women are part of Boston’s DNA, and as they leave, Boston goes into what I can only compare to as a slumber.
I don’t mean to imply if you come to Boston this summer it will be a ghost town, but the city does become a shell of its former self. However, before we know it, the fall semester will be in full swing and literally tens of thousands of students will be here for their September 1st apartment rental. So if you happen to live in Boston and read my blog, I wanted to wish you a happy and restful student-free summer.
