Open for business
After an official ribbon cutting ceremony in August
2018, Hult Point was open for business. Sitting on
the banks of the Charles River, the building is within
walking distance of startup hotspot Kendall Square
and the historic neighborhood of Beacon Hill.
The building consists of eight team rooms with
multimedia access, seven state-of-the-art lecture
halls, and a common space with student
kitchenette that can hold 125. The building also
offers students advising rooms, a library and study
area, counsellor room, and reflection room.
“Students will enjoy a real campus feel,” explains
Jannicke Roos, Executive Vice President of the
undergraduate program.
Many students choose to come to Boston
specifically because of the strength of the city’s
progressive academic reputation. With MIT
and Harvard on their doorsteps, Hult students
have access to a community of other brilliant
young thinkers.
“You can just go to the Harvard website and see
what’s going on this weekend. In two days’ time
the Ig Nobel Prize is taking place at Harvard and
you can just go and see for yourself. It’s a really
interesting city because a lot of important people
come to give talks and lectures. You’re never bored
here,” exclaims Sebastian Marquinez, first-year BBA
student from Mexico.
But Boston definitely isn’t all work and no play.
Whatever your extracurricular interests, Boston
has something to offer you. “I was over at Berklee
College of Music yesterday and met a lot of people
who play jazz, so I started jamming with them and
then I went to Mass Ave and bought a new guitar
for my apartment,” says Ruthik Prasad, first-year
BBA student from India.
