Welcome New Students! 

Undergraduates who enter as first-year students to Boston through fall admission and the NUin Program will live in university housing during their first and second years, unless a global experience or co-op experience takes them outside of the city of Boston. 

University housing for transfer students, as well as students in their third year and beyond is limited and on a space available basis. These students live in a mix of university and off-campus housing in Boston or participate in co-op, study abroad, or learning opportunities outside of Boston.

Whether you were admitted to join us starting in Fall or after your NUin experience in Spring, we are excited to have you! Click on your entry semester to the Boston campus below to learn more about your housing!
