The Boston Marathon is an international event.

Copley Square in Boston is a "hop skip and a jump" from MIT.

Those of us who are currently taking edX classes are beta testers and we are paying the beta price of $0.00 to learn from world class educators. I'm sure the STAFF there would appreciate any constructive criticism you can provide.
