Is transportation provided to the Ryan Center in East Longmeadow?

Although we offer shuttle services between the hours of 12-8 PM, students should plan to have their own transportation to the Ryan Center for classes. Services such as Uber or Lyft are available in our area for those who do not have cars.

Are graduate students expected to follow the same policies as undergraduates?

Graduate students are expected to uphold the same community standards as our undergraduates. Bay Path is a dry campus (alcohol prohibited).

Where is graduate housing located?

Graduate housing is located in Wright Hall. This building offers a small and inclusive community for graduate students to get to know their peers better, work on projects together, and become an active member of our campus.

This community houses graduate students on a first come, first serve basis. Should additional housing be needed, we will accommodate for students within our undergraduate areas.

Each room is a double occupancy space, with the following available for each occupant:
