Life on the Worcester State University campus is a perfect blend of community, culture, academics—and fun. Whether you are a resident student or a commuter student, you’ll have many opportunities to make friends, learn new skills, and discover new interests.
Our campus is always a whirl of social and cultural activities, including films, live music and arts performances, speakers, sports, fundraisers, and community-wide special events. We find plenty to celebrate on campus, including Homecoming Weekend, Spring Week, Commuter Appreciation Days, the Multicultural Festival, and many other events throughout the year.
Worcester State University is located in the residential northwestern side of Worcester, which is the second largest city in Massachusetts and home to 8 other colleges and universities, with more in the surrounding region. Our 58-acre campus features state-of-the-art facilities like our Wellness Center, Ghosh Science and Technology Center, Fuller Theater, and modern residence halls.
