Whether you live in one of our downtown residence halls, enjoy a taste of apartment life in one of Boston’s distinctive neighborhoods, or commute to your classes from out of town, you’ll experience college life in our world-class city.
Make your enrollment and housing deposit as soon as possible to secure your guaranteed spot in University-sponsored housing.
Our residence halls are in the heart of Boston, steps from shopping, restaurants, theatres, and cultural attractions that make city life so exciting. They’re also close to public transportation routes that will take you farther afield.
Room styles include:
Once you have a confirmed housing space, you will receive a housing contract from the Department of Residence Life & Housing detailing your next steps and important deadlines.
For first-year and transfer students, submitting your deposit by January 1 will guarantee your spot in University-sponsored housing for the Spring 2025 semester. Returning students must also follow deadlines set by the Office of Residence Life & Housing Services. In December, we’ll start confirming University-sponsored housing and send instructions on how to access the housing portal. We will continue this process on a rolling basis after the January 1 deposit deadline. You’ll find out your University-sponsored housing assignment and information about your roommate(s) in January.
If you are a first-year student, submitting your deposit by May 1 guarantees your spot in University-sponsored housing for two years. Returning students must also follow deadlines set by the Office of Residence Life & Housing Services in order to secure their second year of housing. If you are a transfer student, University-sponsored housing is not guaranteed and will be assigned on a space-available basis.
In early June, we’ll confirm University-sponsored housing and send instructions on how to access the housing portal. You’ll find out your University-sponsored housing assignment and information about your roommate(s) in July.
Students are not required to live in University-sponsored housing and may pursue off-campus or commuting options. Some students choose to live in University-sponsored housing for their first year but move off campus for their remaining time at Suffolk. It is your choice. If you have questions, please contact Residence Life & Housing Services by phone at 617-305-2500 or via email.
