Welcome to UMass Lowell!

Max Cyril
Welcome to UMass Lowell!
UMass Lowell is a friendly, diverse and inclusive community. Seventy-five percent of freshmen choose to live on campus.

What are our students up to?

Recently, they’ve taken first place in a Department of Defense-sponsored hack-a-thon and in a NASA-sponsored robotics contest. They’ve studied opera in Italy, security in Hong Kong and health care in Chile. They’ve participated in paid co-ops and internships at Burton Snowboards in Vermont and at Villareal soccer club in Spain. They’ve started businesses and helped solve problems for local communities. They’ve created an ad campaign that’s featured in the Boston area and discussed writing with Stephen King. They are active in more than 200 clubs and organizations on campus and are creating new ones all the time.

In short, UMass Lowell students are developing the knowledge, skills and experience to contribute in the workplace, build lives around the passions and principles they develop here and take advantage of all the world offers. Read more on our website at www.uml.edu/news and www.uml.edu/profiles.
