From its founding in 1906 to the present day, Suffolk University has grown to be an integral part of the city of Boston, woven into the fabric of the city, its people, and its institutions.
When you step out of one of our buildings—one of the many benefits of going to school in downtown Boston—you're stepping into the vibrant heart of the city, with all of the action and opportunity that comes with it. From the global firms of the Financial District to the halls of the State House on Beacon Hill, you'll find internships, career paths, and professional connections waiting for you.
From the shops of Downtown Crossing to the restaurants of Chinatown to the venues of the Theatre District, you'll find an endless variety of things to do, all within walking distance of campus.
Marketing students at Suffolk University's Sawyer Business School have a powerful new way to help understand how customers make decisions: the recently opened X-Lab. It's the first human behavior facility in Massachusetts to be integrated into a business school curriculum while also advancing academic research.
