New England's Most Famous College Town Is Home To 'The Ugliest Building In America'

It's home to the Five Colleges of the Pioneer Valley, the colleges of greater Boston, and Cambridge, which is home to Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). MIT is considered one of the most prestigious schools in the United States, and has been located at its current campus since 1916, amassing an impressive collection of buildings designed by famous architects like I.M.

One that has attracted controversy is Simmons Hall, an undergraduate residence hall that won the 2025 Aesthetic Atrocity Award for "the ugliest building in America."

Eventually they hit the Dad Lottery.

Tim Merrigan's son Liam, a junior, is the starting quarterback at Hingham. Greg Lane's son Sean, a senior, is the starting QB at Milton. Perfect.
