Where's UMass Dartmouth?
Our 700-acre campus is on the SouthCoast of Massachusetts, between Providence, RI and Cape Cod--just one hour from Boston
What's nearby?
Within a mile of campus, you'll find everything you need--from ramen noodles to headphones--at places like Target, Walmart, and Stop & Shop. The Dartmouth Mall has 75 stores, including Macy's and Old Navy, as well as a 12-screen movie theater.
Downtown New Bedford is a short ride away, and features specialty shops, restaurants, and galleries. Fall River is fewer than 10 miles west of campus, and offers running trails, cafes, and exhibits and live music performances at the Narrows Center for the Arts.
Our convenient location means you're only 35 minutes from Providence and Newport, an hour from Boston and Cape Cod, and just minutes from the beach.
