About Student Housing in Lowell
Lowell, Massachusetts is a historic mill city on the Merrimack River about forty minutes northwest of Boston, and it's home to the University of Massachusetts Lowell, whose campus spreads across both sides of the river and shapes much of the city's student life. Lowell built its name on nineteenth-century textile mills, and that legacy still defines the place, with the Lowell National Historical Park preserving canals, locks, and brick mill buildings downtown. The riverwalk and canal paths give the city green, walkable edges, and the restored downtown carries an arts-and-music streak that peaks each summer with the Lowell Folk Festival, one of the largest free folk festivals in the country.
