What do Meghan Trainor, John Mayer, PSY, Bruce Hornsby, and Quincy Jones all have in common? They are all alumni of the Berklee College of Music. Located in Boston's popular Back Bay neighborhood, Berklee draws talented musicians from around the world and contribute events like the Beantown Jazz Festival to the community. As the world's largest independent college of contemporary music, Berklee is a private university that was established in 1945. The school offers master's degree programs in several areas, including Contemporary Performance, Global Entertainment and Music Business, and Music Technology Innovation.
The Berklee College of Music is located along Boylston Street between Fenway and Hemenway Street. This beautiful neighborhood is filled with Victorian architecture and is very pedestrian-friendly. The Back Bay Historic District contains several iconic buildings, including Old South Church (built in 1872), the Boston Public Library (built in 1888), and the Museum of Fine Arts (built in 1870). As one of the city's trendiest neighborhoods, rent in Back Bay can range from $2,500 to north of $4,000. Luckily, with Boston's terrific mass transit system, the "T," commuting from other neighborhoods is also an option. Nearby neighborhoods to consider include Allston, Fenway/Kenmore, and Brighton.
