Hello Incoming Students!

Hello Incoming Students!

 

We hope you're enjoying summer, and are excited to begin your training this fall. Here are a few updates and helpful articles as you prepare for the start of school. Information about tool kit purchasing will be coming in mid-July.

 

Housing: For those moving to Boston this fall and looking for housing, our Living in Boston page is a good resource. You can also log in to the Student & Alumni Portal to view or post on our Housing & Classifieds Board. You should have received a log-in invite in your email inbox; reach out if you have trouble logging in.

 

New Student Events: Join us at these optional sessions with Rob to meet students, ask questions, and get ready for the fall. Register here to attend.

  • Virtual Check-In: Monday, June 30 from 12 noon - 1 pm
  • Virtual Check-In: Monday, August 4 from 12 noon - 1 pm

Visiting the North End: If you're planning to be in the area and would like to visit the School this summer, please schedule a visit with Rob O'Dwyer in advance so he can plan accordingly.

 

Daily Transit: Check out information on our website, to help with your commute. Given how difficult to find and expensive parking is in the North End, we recommend using public transportation if possible. Here are some transit tips:

  • Use the MBTA Trip Planner to find your route options from home to school, including the type of Monthly Pass you'll need.
  • Find MBTA Maps here, including subway, bus, and Commuter Rail.

Also, don't forget to order your MBTA Fall semester pass (September 1 – December 31) at an 11% discount, using this order form. The deadline to order is Friday, August 1, 2025.
