Life That Goes Well Beyond the Classroom

MCPHS is a campus in constant motion, from the energy that fills the classes and labs to students socializing in the many common spaces to the hum of city life right outside our front doors. Our modern urban campus is located in the heart of Boston and its world-renowned Longwood Medical and Academic Area. And while we are the oldest institution of higher education in Boston, our campus is the very definition of innovative and state-of-the-art.

But life on campus here goes beyond a collection of buildings. It encompasses your fellow students, the staff that’s here to help you, and the many events, relationships, and activities that enrich your life at MCPHS.
