This is an old post here is an updated page with the current information!<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Boston Area Commencement Dates for Spring Impact Hotel Prices, Availability, Restaurant Reservations and More<\/a>.<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

And, it helps vistors to Boston understand why hotel rooms are so expensive and restaurant reservations so scarce on some dates in May. The experts who guide Boston visitors over on Trip Advisor<\/a> are already answering questions about spring visits to the <\/span>city. <\/span> <\/span><\/h3>\n

Reservations at area restaurants will be harder to find May 9th through 11th with Mother's Day and six commencements, and scarce May 16th through 19th when twelve schools, including BU and BC, will hold ceremonies. Harvard commencement is May 29th and MIT June 6th \u2013 each of these schools is large enough to have an impact on its own. Harvard can also interfere<\/span> with traffic as they move busloads of people from one place to another around event time.<\/p>\n

To help you plan your dining options in May and early June, here are the dates of the major commencement ceremonies for your 2014 calendar.<\/strong><\/p>\n
