Among all of the prestigious institutions of higher learning in the area, the University of Massachusetts Boston has the distinction of being the only public university in the city of Boston. A relatively young university, UMass Boston occupies Columbia Point, a small peninsula overlooking Boston Harbor, with the Boston HarborWalk footpath bordering the campus on three sides. The campus is a treasure trove of historical documents, serving as the home of the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library as well as the Massachusetts Archives.
The area surrounding UMass Boston offers the best of both urban and coastal lifestyles. The nearby Dorchester and Upham’s Corner neighborhoods are packed with great houses, apartments, and condos to choose from, many within easy walking distance of campus (and MBTA service opens up virtually unlimited options all over the city). The beaches around Old Harbor are right next door, and you can easily kayak out to Spectacle Island when the weather is warm.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
