My daughter and I will be staying in the Framingham/Natick area to shop for dorm supplies for a couple of days prior to her moving in to the dorms at Emerson College this fall. If we have enough time, we thought we might go into the city to do a little sightseeing also. I will have a rental car in Framingham, and I was wondering about possibly driving from there and parking at a T station on the outskirts of the city, then taking the T around Boston to sightsee. Let me know if you think that%26#39;s the best plan, and if so, what the best station would be to park at. Thanks!
Transportation advice needed
Sounds like a greta plan, since most people who are unfamiliar with the city don%26#39;t like to drive. You have a few options you can either take a subway line or a commuter train into Boston. I would suggest the commuter train from either Framingham, Natick or West Natick, depending on where your staying. Here is the link to the web site, which has locations of stations, prices, and schedules. www.mbta.com/schedules_and_maps/rail/lines/…

If you are dorm shopping, make sure you check out IKEA in stoughton/avon, just off rt 24 south of where you%26#39;ll be staying. They have incredible deals and just the sort of stuff college kids like....
If you are gonna hit the city to check things out from Natick, commuter rail is best bet. You are in the city in about 30 minutes with no traffic/parking issues. Now if you plan to do all kinds of shopping and will have bags, you may want to drive. mbta.com
...and be aware that a car stuffed full of shopping bags is a temptation to thieves...
