Newton Campus is located at 885 Centre Street in Newton, about 1.5 miles from the Chestnut Hill Campus. A continuous shuttle bus takes students between Newton Campus and the Chestnut Hill Main Campus seven days a week. There are no lofted triple rooms on the Newton Campus, and it has its own dining hall, mailroom, exercise space, and chapel. 

Upper Campus is part of the Chestnut Hill Campus and does not require use of the shuttle bus. Students living on Upper Campus may be placed in a lofted triple room. Students who opt-in to a lofted triple room are guaranteed to be placed on Upper Campus. Upper Campus students also have access to a dining hall, mailroom, and chapel.
