Everyone is dissing Faneuil Hall but if you like history you will like the Hall. The shopping area is touristy but the actual Hall is historically interesting. The old State house is across the street which is a beautiful building. The old cemetery is @ the corner with some cool dead people. Copley Library is definitely worth seeing and if its a nice day there is a beautiful courtyard. The old basement archives is cool. I know you said you are not into museums but the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum is cool, another beautiful courtyard and you can see the frames of the stolen artwork :) Charlestown is worth a couple hours, the BunkerHill Monument, Constitution and lunch at the Warren Tavern (oldest consecutively run pub). I find walking the Charles River more interesting than the Common but the Common is nice too. If you go to are at the Common you can walk to Acorn St which is the most photographed street in the State. Salem is worth a day trip imo.

UMass my sister graduated from there. All of the kids are natural hustlers as opposed to their private school counterparts. Her professors all taught at Harvard too but weren’t tenured so they did UMB on the side. She ended up at Suffolk Law and does very well so I wld say save the $ on his next chapter, not undergrad.
