Graduate Housing at WPI
Live Steps from Campus—and Miles Ahead in Experience
Conveniently located near WPI's Main Campus, graduate student housing allows you to balance between academic, social, and work life—all with the support of the WPI community. With the close proximity to campus and WPI activities, and plenty of social gatherings to enjoy, graduate students can make the most of their WPI experience.
The graduate student housing community is a diverse group of fellow graduate students, faculty, and staff with whom you’ll develop meaningful and supportive relationships during your time at WPI.
Incoming Graduate Students will be provided with information regarding on campus housing selection for next academic year via WPI email. Students may begin searching for off-campus housing at any time. As a courtesy, the Housing & Residential Experience Center (HREC) provides information about off-campus housing as well.
