Lesley University occupies multiple campuses in Cambridge, Massachusetts, situated between Harvard Square and Porter Square, with direct access to Boston via public transit. The institution, founded in 1909 as a teacher training school, operates across four distinct campus locations that blend historic buildings with modern academic facilities. The university maintains a strong focus in education, counseling psychology, visual arts, and creative writing, with the College of Art and Design serving as a specialized center for art and design education. Students typically reside in traditional dormitories on the Doble Campus or in converted Victorian houses near Porter Square, while upper-class students have access to apartment-style housing. Lesley's urban location provides students with extensive opportunities for internships and practicum experiences within Boston's educational and cultural institutions.
