College Square

The College Square is a location in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4. From the battle lines, it appears as though raiders were attempting to make a stand against feral ghouls but were overrun.

Layout
3 streets come together, and they are lined with buildings, most of which can be explored for loot. Careful, however, there are many "sleeping" ghouls and traps.

A breakdown of the square starting on the south side and going around counter-clockwise is as follows:

The buildings lining the south side of the square can be explored and contain a tool case with leveled loot next to Ricca on the third floor. The building attached the this contains an advanced lock wall safe behind the counter on the second floor. Below this, there is a laundromat with assorted junk.

The northeast side of the square contains a small diner with a novice locked bathroom containing a first aid box. Directly to the right of the diner is a novice locked Pulowski Preservation shelter which contains a feral ghoul. The three story building to the left of the diner contains nothing of note, but there is a wooden walkway that leads to the roof of the neighboring building which contains some 10mm ammo next to a skeleton. Be careful as the walkway will collapse as the character walks over it.

In the northern corner of the square, there is an open truck trailer with another ghoul and an explosives box in the back. The two story house on the western side of the truck leads to a wooden catwalk which crosses the north entrance to the square. This leads to the roof of the house across from the truck where there is another caps stash, steamer trunk, and duffle bag with leveled loot.

The three story building on the northwest side of the square has an advanced locked door on the third floor which leads to a fire escape behind the building.

There is a building in the western corner of the square with nicer than usual furniture and an advanced locked safe behind the counter with a cash register. the stairs in the rear of this building lead to the second floor where there is more assorted junk.

Directly west of the station is a small info kiosk containing a novice locked safe and a Racetrack advertisement on the shelf which will mark the East City Downs location on the map. Under the center of College Square is College Square Station - a subway, some aspects of which seem to still be running.

Notable loot

 * On top of the high building (the building with the can trap in the door, next to the west info kiosk) overlooking the square, is Ricca with some gear and a Toll Schedule on her.
 * Racetrack advertisement in the info kiosk due west of College Square Station.
 * After the first area there is a locked door[expert] and on top of the container contains Live & Love issue Nuke-The-Man! (This is in the College Square Station). Activating the Protectrons on the level below will open the door when it exits to do the patrol.

Appearances
The College Square only appears in Fallout 4.

Behind the scenes
College Square's location and layout are based closely on Harvard Square in present-day Cambridge.
