Housing

Like most graduate schools in the Boston area, New England Law | Boston does not provide on-campus housing. Most students attending the law school live in privately owned apartment buildings near the school or in other neighborhoods in Boston or its suburbs. Some of the most popular neighborhoods for New England Law | Boston students are: Allston/Brighton, the Back Bay, Beacon Hill, Brookline, Fenway/Kenmore, the North End, and the South End.

New England Law | Boston provides a Web site, maintained by the Office of Admissions, for accepted students that includes information on the Boston housing market. While students must do the footwork, the Web site can guide their search for housing and transitioning to life in Boston.

Through the Web site, accepted students can:

Research Boston by Neighborhood

The city of Boston and its surrounding communities is broken down into three areas on the Web site: The Big City, Inner Suburbs, and Outer Suburbs. Each community has a brief description, average monthly rents as surveyed by current New England Law | Boston students, major highlights of the community, (including, but not limited to, most accessible transportation to the law school, length of commute, parking restrictions, and safety) and names of rental agents who have dealt with New England Law | Boston students in the past.

Find a roommate

The Office of Admissions maintains a list of incoming students who are interested in sharing an apartment. When you sign up for the Roommate List, New England Law | Boston will provide you with a special password to access the Online Roommate List. From the list, accepted students can contact potential roommates, meet, and schedule a visit to Boston to locate an apartment together.

View available rental listings

The Office of Admissions maintains a list of available apartments and rooms that have come directly to the New England Law | Boston Office of Admissions. The list is updated frequently and is accessible on the Web site.

Sign up to attend a Housing Information Day

On Housing Information Days, which are conducted at the beginning of the summer, law school representatives provide guidance on apartment-hunting in the Boston area. This forum also provides students with an opportunity to meet potential roommates.

Because of Boston's large student population, affordable housing is in demand. Students should set aside time during the summer to visit Boston, find a suitable apartment, and sign a lease. The housing information sessions serve as an information clearinghouse to aid students in their apartment searches, but students must be prepared to find apartments and make living arrangements on their own.

Learn how to get around Boston

The Web site provides details on how to navigate the subway system, cost for public transportation, and provides the closest public transportation stops to the law school.

To find out more about housing and/or post housing rental information, please contact the Office of Admissions at 617-422-7210 or admit@nesl.edu.
