The UMass Lowell campus might be closed, but that doesn’t mean you need to press pause on exploring your options for the future! We may not be physically on campus, but there are plenty of virtual opportunities to help you connect with us, like our student-led virtual tours.
During our student-led virtual tours, you will have the chance to chat with a current UML student for an hour about their experiences here as they lead you through the virtual tour. It’s the perfect way to get personalized and one-on-one answers to your questions and learn more about UMass Lowell. All from the comfort of your home.

What’s your favorite thing about UML?
My favorite thing is the different feel on each campus. North Campus is steps from downtown Lowell and has a busy, city feel. And all the greenspace on South Campus gives it a smaller, liberal arts college feel. I also like how, even with these different vibes between campuses, UML benefits from the resources that come with being a larger university.
