UMass Boston's main campus is located on Columbia Point, at 100 Morrissey Boulevard, Boston, MA 02125. We are adjacent to the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and the Edward M. Kennedy Institute for the United States Senate. Minutes from downtown Boston and Logan International Airport, both are easily accessible by public transportation. The university offers a free shuttle service between the campus and the MBTA JFK/UMass Station. For those who drive, we have several parking lots on and near the campus.
