Inside Boston

Curry College
1071 Blue Hill Avenue Milton MA 02186

Welcome to Curry College!
Our campus is located a few short miles from the historic city of Boston. Boston is
a vibrant city made up of diverse communities that are rich in culture.
This guide was prepared to provide you with a list of resources that are available
a short distance from the Curry College campus. We have included restaurants,
hair salons, barbershops, grocery stores, as well as religious centers/churches.
This is by no means a complete list. If there are resources that you are looking
for that are not listed here, please feel free to contact us. Please note that we are
not endorsing any business listed, this is for informational purposes only.
We hope you make the most of your time at Curry! We are here to assist in any
way we can.
