Brookline is a nice suburb of Boston; clean, safe (as far as I last knew...) Newbury is a small college, to be sure... check out www.collegeboard.com and www.princetonreview.com for some info on it. Not much, though. One of these sites said that 75% of the students are from in-state, 25% out-of-state. One of them also said that 40% of the students live on campus. So, obviously, it's Massachusetts-centric and many students commute to school (whether from home or simply off-campus housing, I can't be sure.) This may hamper on-site student life/involvemet, but I can't say for sure that happens at Newbury. Can you visit the school and speak with students directly? That would be idea. My son's college had a way for prospective students to e-mail current students. Maybe Newbury has that, too.
