Harvard University was founded by the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1636 , making it the first and oldest university in America . Since then , Boston has blossomed into a dynamic city for intellectuals . Independent thinkers such as transcendentalist Ralph Waldo Emerson and naturalist Henry David Thoreau have been among Boston ’ s most famous residents , as have the likes of literary superstars Louisa May Alcott , Henry Wadsworth Longfellow , and Harriet Beecher Stowe . Today , Boston remains America ’ s premier academic city with over 50 institutions of higher learning . Every fall , 250,000 students pour into the Boston area and keep true to Boston ’ s tradition as a vibrant college city .

A thriving startup culture has lured in the likes of TripAdvisor , Facebook , Dropbox , HubSpot and Zipcar , providing no shortage of potential internship and job opportunities for students .
Hult can also trace its roots back to Boston . In 1964 , Arthur D . Little founded the Arthur D . Little School of Management in Boston .
