Housing
The Office of Student Housing is pleased to welcome you to Boston, and our staff look forward to helping you find a place to call home.
UMass Boston is a public, urban university, located three miles south of downtown Boston. Although the university owns no residence halls or other types of housing, the Office of Student Housing is committed to assisting prospective and current students, as well as members of the university community, with finding a place to live that's conveniently located near the campus.
At UMass Boston you will find a whole new world of social and academic possibilities, exciting journeys, and lasting friendships. Where you choose to live will be part of your UMass Boston experience.
We invite students, faculty, and staff to view available apartments on our housing registry database.
- We invite our neighbors in Boston’s surrounding communities, as well as members of the university community, to list their rental properties on our new housing registry database. This system provides you the opportunity to list, update, and remove your rentals at your convenience.
- Roommate matching services are available for UMass Boston students only. Fill out our roommate matching form.
- To assist you when looking for a place to live, we also have a list of questions to ask potential roommates or landlords.
If you have any questions about our services, please contact student housing.
Note that UMass Boston maintains this service for referral purposes only and cannot guarantee the acceptability of the rental units listed and/or the integrity of any individual landlord, renter, Realtor, or roommate. We do not make rental commitments or participate in negotiations. We remind you that all property owners are required to comply with federal, state, and local fair housing laws and regulations.
