Your Boston Connection
Steeped in history and teeming with energy and innovation, Boston is one of the world’s great coastal metropolises. 
And the University of Massachusetts Boston delivers you both—the city and the sea.
Poised on the edge of Boston Harbor, UMass Boston’s 177-acre campus offers jaw-dropping ocean views—and it’s just a hop, skip, and a jump on the subway to all the action and intrigue of downtown Boston.
Explore from Dorchester and Jamaica Plain to Southie and South Boston to The Back Bay and Newbury Street to Fenway Park and Boston Common to Chinatown and the North End …And you still haven’t crossed over the Charles River to check out all the unique neighborhoods of Cambridge, Somerville—and beyond! (This could take a few semesters.)
