Fitchburg State University in Fitchburg, Massachusetts, will open its first residence hall exclusively for graduate students this fall with the reopening of an on-campus apartment building.
The Leominster Champion reports that the apartment-style residences will serve the university’s expanding graduate population, including international students. Fitchburg State had more than 400 international graduate students enrolled in on-campus classes in 2023-24.
The apartments at 185 North St. have five-bedroom units, all for single occupants in full-size beds. Laundry facilities are on site, and utilities are included in the housing cost. Unlike traditional student housing, the occupants will be able to reside on-campus year-round, including academic breaks in winter and spring.
“This opportunity enables graduate students to immerse themselves fully in the Fitchburg State community while also enjoying the convenience of on-campus living, enhancing accessibility and affordability for all,” said Fitchburg State’s Executive Director of Housing and Residential Services Matt Lechter.
The university offers other apartment-style residential options for undergraduates.
