I went to school there through Boston Univ which had (probably is still there) a small outpost they ran out of a brownstone in Kensington, near the Glouster St stop.

Following classes, students had an internship. I had mine with IBM at their South Bank office. The group I worked with sold into the petrochem industry and many of their clients were US energy firms: esso, texaco, etc. The IBM lads were invited to participate in their clients' softball league (it's like baseball) and as the only American on the team most of my interneship was spent teaching them how to play.

I remember telling people all day, "No, running after you hit the ball is NOT optional!" or "No, you can't bounce the ball towards the batter!" or "Take of those silly Jumpers!".
