At Emmanuel College, Boston is a core part of your experience. Students live and learn within a hub of world-class medical and research centers, renowned art and science museums, and countless corporations and organizations that are making their mark locally and internationally.

And while the entire city of Boston is your extended classroom, the Jean Yawkey Center (or the JYC, as students call it) is your extended living room. It is your student center, your dining hall, your gym and fitness center, your hangout…all rolled into one. It is your place to cheer on the Saints during basketball and volleyball games or to show off your poetry or songwriting skills on open mic nights. Take one look at the number of activities that take place in the sunny, two-story atrium every day and you’ll see why the JYC is the hub of campus activity. And it all looks out over the quad, your new backyard and the perfect place for a game of Frisbee, a movie night or an outdoor study session.
