Beverly, Massachusetts, USA
Imagine the smell of the salt air as you approach the campus, consider the sound of the waves breaking on the sand, envision the sun reflecting off of the blue ocean… Endicott College campus has all of this and more!
This will be Beantown’s sixth year at Endicott College located in Beverly, Massachusetts, 20 miles north of Boston. It is easily accessed by major highways and the commuter rail. It is just north of Salem, most widely known as the site of the 1692 witchcraft trials, and south of Gloucester, America’s oldest fishing port made famous in the movie A Perfect Storm. The area is known for its natural beauty.
Founded in 1939, Endicott College is beautifully situated on the shores of Massachusetts Bay in a private setting. The 200 acre oceanfront campus featuring woods, open lawns, 3 private beaches and unique facilities is naturally conducive to providing a superb, peaceful setting for a jam-packed weekend and full week of energy, exhilaration and camaraderie.
On campus, all of the buildings are centrally located with an easy walk through campus roads and pathways from place to place. The college has continued to grow and evolve since it was first opened. The facilities include some of the buildings that were originally on the property and newer ones such as the Center for the Arts which opened in 2009.
All of the dorm options are good choices depending on your particular taste, each with its unique characteristics. You may prefer the Woodside Townhouses which are very similar to an apartment, or the charm of Winthrop Hall, one of the original estate houses just off the beach that has been turned into a dorm.
Other amenities on campus include the Beantown Café and game room for evening socializing, a Cyber Café for convenient access to email, fitness center, gym, tennis and beach volleyball.
Just a short walk across the main road are the ocean and the college beaches. This is also where you will find Tupper Hall, a beautiful estate designed in 1901 by Guy Lowell who also designed Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts. The mansion was the summer home of the Bryce Allan family, owners of the Allan Steamship Lines and founders of the college. Today it is a popular location for weddings, business meetings and special occasions.
