University of Massachusetts Boston
ON-CAMPUS HOUSING & RESIDENTIAL LIFE A little less than half of first year students choose the on-campus residence halls to have instant access to the coastline and campus, not only for classes, but for the learning opportunities and convenience to resources, clubs, and activities. Meet new friends; hang out or study together whenever you want. The halls feature live-in professional staff and uniformed security available around the clock. And with quick access to the T, the entire City of Boston is at your fingertips. Learn more: umb.edu/oncampushousing
OFFICE OF OFF-CAMPUS LIVING Or opt to experience local Boston. Our dedicated staff helps students identify the best options available right next door to campus and throughout the Boston area. From a Step-By-Step Guide to Finding Housing, an interactive Housing Tenant Education Course, and a curated website of off-campus apartment listings, the UMass Boston Office of Off-Campus Living connects students to the tools and resources to conduct stress-free apartment and roommate searches. Catering to the unique needs of each student, the Off-Campus Living staff advise thousands of students every year in navigating the housing and roommate search processes, as well as promote involvement.
