The Hancock and Trinty Church from BrianMyres' list are an easy one to choose. They are right next to each other. The difference in them is striking seeing them in context.

What was not on the list, and is a must: The New England Holocaust Memorial It's really great!

LINK (http://www.nehm.org/) to web site about the memorial.

If you are spending three months here, you have plenty of time to explore the region. Check out the Gropius house in Lincoln MA and be sure to head up to Exeter to see Kahn's work.

If you don't mind the brutalist style paul rudolphs art and architecture building at Yale is a must see.

Can be seen a bit closer in Dartmouth at Umass as well. Creepy references to the number six abound. I studi... er.. went there for a few years. Man, now that I look at this thread, it seems like there is nothing to see here, which is not the case.
