Cambridge borders Boston, and is basically surrounded on 3 sides by Boston. Harvard is about 5 km from Boston's downtown, and MIT is about 3 km.

    Which 3 sides? To the North-East of Cambridge is Somerville. To the North is Arlington, to the West is Belmont and Watertown. Boston is basically only to the South-East.

    It's all Boston. I'm from Jersey, and half my state gets lumped in with NYC, so Boston, in my mind, subsumes the likes of Cambridge and Somerville. And it's been almost two years since my last trip to Boston, but they may as well be part of Boston.
