about
Campus
The location of the Showa Boston campus is ideal: close to the heart of the city, yet a cool, quiet spot away from the city noise and stress. Located six miles from downtown Boston, the campus rests on a breezy, sunny hilltop overlooking the Boston skyline. Much of its 40-acre campus is wooded landscape filled with wildflowers.

At the heart of the campus are the dormitory and dining hall, classroom building, educational facilities including the Library, Computer Lab, Media Lab, and administrative offices.

Showa students live in the ten wings attached to our main building. Each wing contains comfortable dormitory rooms; kitchen facilities and a social center furnished with couches, a large-screen television and VCR. At least two Resident Assistants live with the students in each wing, acting as guides to American culture, serving as mentors and coordinating activities. They are often professional women or graduate students who enjoy the opportunity to live and work with international students.

The campus also boasts footpaths for jogging or walking, two tennis courts, an indoor swimming pool, and a large playing field. Showa Boston takes pride in its authentic Japanese Teahouse that can be visited by appointment and its beautiful Japanese Garden.
