Framingham State University
Framingham State University (100 State St, Framingham, MA 01702) is one of the oldest public universities in the United States, founded in 1839 as the first public normal school in America. The campus sits on a hill above downtown Framingham and hosts major events throughout the academic year — commencement ceremonies, alumni weekends, performing arts productions at the McCarthy Center, and athletic events at Bowditch Field. Groups arriving by charter bus for graduation or large campus events should contact the university's events office in advance to confirm current drop-off and bus staging areas, as access routes vary by event.
The campus is about one mile from Framingham Station on the MBTA commuter rail line.
