We Are Your New Home.
We’re committed to supporting your education, and that includes creating a great environment in which to live and learn. From waterfront living in our recently built on-campus residence halls to connecting you with nearby off-campus housing, UMass Boston’s housing staff support you from first year through senior year.
On-Campus Housing and Residential Life
Many first-year students choose the on-campus residence halls to have instant access to the coastline and campus, not only for classes, but also for resources, clubs, and activities. Meet new friends, hang out or study together whenever you want. Feel safe 24/7 with live-on professional staff and campus security available around the clock. And with quick access to the T, the entire City of Boston is at your fingertips.
Office of Off-Campus Living
Many UMass Boston students choose to live in apartments next to or nearby the campus. Thousands more live just a few subway stops away. The Office of Off-Campus Living is home for all of your needs in order to conduct a successful search for off-campus accommodations, find a roommate and learn to be a successful commuting Beacon! Off-Campus Living provides resources and information to take the worry out of your housing search.
