Experience the continental climate in Boston while taking English courses. Summers are warm and humid; spring is warm with cool nights, while the beginning months of fall are very pleasant, with warm afternoons, cool mornings and cool evenings. Foliage season, from late September to mid-October, is a beautiful time to see the leaves changing colours. Winters are cold and snowy from December to February, but you can enjoy the wintry charm it brings with the other students in your courses by going skiing, drinking hot chocolate and more.
