Picture Perfect. Beautiful. New England. That’s how visitors describe our 131-acre Milton campus, just seven miles from downtown Boston, where students have the best of both worlds - the advantages and comforts of a suburban learning and living environment as well as the excitement and resources of a major city. Milton was once again recognized as America’s Safest College Town according to a study released by SafeWise in 2024.

The 20 students participating in this program will reside on campus for the entirety of the program in Bell Hall. Bell Hall consists of living pods that are separated by a common area. Each pod includes a common space with access to a kitchenette, multiple single user restrooms, and enclosed study spaces. Curry College Community Directors (professional staff) will administer all residence life elements of the program. Additionally, Curry students will serve as resident assistants to support program participants.
