Favorite Thing About UMass Boston: UMass Boston is truly the best of both worlds. It is a college so near the heart of Boston, but our 120 acre waterfront campus gives us opportunities to spend time outside and connect with nature. Students can take a Boston Harbor cruise, rent kayaks and explore the Boston Harbor Islands, or just sit on an Adirondack chair and enjoy the beautiful views.
Application Tips: Apply for scholarships! A few scholarships can really add up fast and can help with other costs like books, living expenses, and transportation.
