  • U-Mass-Boston in its present form was established in 1982. The school was created out of a merger of Boston State College which dated back to 1852 and several previous names. and the then University of Massachusetts-Boston which was established in 1964. Both schools were previously located in the heart of Boston with Boston State College being located where Massachusetts College of Art is located on Huntington Avenue in the Longwood Medical Area near Northeastern University. The school was moved to the present location from a location on Park Street in 1974 at Columbia Point next to the JFK Presidential Library along the shore of Boston Harbor. As much as the school has moved the school has not had on campus housing for its students. In December of 2016 the school broke ground on a 1,077 bed student residence hall which should be ready for the fall of 2018. The school has grown since it moved to its current location and always been a commuter school as it has a stop (JFK/UMASS) on the MBTA's red line subway service that links to dedicated buses for the school. Much of the student body comes from the city of Boston and the immediate suburbs. This should make the school more attractive to students from outside the area as well as Boston is a major college town and apartment hunting is a major challenge and lack of dorm room discourages people from considering the school.
