  Did you know that the toothpick was first used in a Boston restaurant? Do you realize that Boston has more historical buildings than any other city in America? And for Boston University students, access to everything the city offers is as easy as jumping on the T (which opened in 1897 as the first subway system in the western hemisphere) for a quick ride east into downtown.
