Housing Options

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.

Four-Year Housing Offer

Undergraduate students—both freshman (first time in college) and transfer—are offered up to four years of University-sponsored housing. To remain eligible for housing, incoming undergraduate students must submit their enrollment deposit by January 1 (students entering Spring 2026) or May 1 (students entering Fall 2026) and meet all subsequent deadlines set by the Office of Residence Life & Housing Services.


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:

  • Singles
  • Doubles
  • Suites
  • Apartments

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.

 


Off-Campus Housing

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.

Our downtown location makes it easy to get here on all public transportation routes. The MBTA offers bus, subway, rail, and boat travel in and around Boston.

These subway stops will bring you closest to campus:

  • Blue Line: State
  • Orange Line: State
