Boston Schools as Parks and Rec Characters

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Simmons chapter.

Our favorite event of the semester is finally upon us… Parks and Recfast! If you like breakfast food (and who doesn’t?) make sure you order to hit us up here for all your breakfast needs, delivered right to your room! Weds, Marck 27, 8-11pm on Res Campus – don’t miss out.

To celebrate, let’s rank all the the best residents of Pawnee as Boston schools.

Ben Wyatt – MIT 

Because brains, and model trains 

Andy Dwyer – BU

Because they throw the best parties (frisbee plates and surprise weddings, anyone?) 

April Ludgate – Berklee College of Music

Because they’re way too cool for us, and they definitely know it

Tom Haverford – Emerson

Because they’re both a little extra, and they also know it 

Ann Perkins – Emmanuel 

Because she’s a beautiful tropical fish 

Jerry Gergich – UMass Boston 

Because they’re great and all, but sometimes we forget they exist 

Orin – Mass Art

Because… well, we don’t really know what’s going on there

Mark Brendanawicz – Wheelock College

Because… wait, where’d Mark go?

Chris Traeger – BC 

Because the prep – and the vegetable loafs

Jean-Ralphio Saperstein – Wentworth

Because he’s a “pickup artist and baller”

Ron Swanson – Tufts

Because they’re off the grid, and you can’t get better than off the grid  

Leslie Knope – Simmons

Because we stand up for what we believe in, never take no for an answer and… waffles
