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.
Students starting for the fall 2025 semester will be guaranteed up to four years of university-sponsored housing should they deposit by June 1.
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 Office of Residence Life & Housing Services detailing your next steps and important deadlines.
If you are a first-year or transfer student beginning in the fall 2025 semester, submitting your deposit by June 1 guarantees your spot in University-sponsored housing for up to four years. Returning students must also follow deadlines set by the Office of Residence Life & Housing Services in order to secure their subsequent years of housing.
For first-year students, submitting your deposit by January 1 will guarantee your spot in University-sponsored housing for the spring 2025 semester.
Housing for transfer students admitted for the spring semester will be provided on a space available basis.
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.
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.
