Located right in the heart of Cambridge—the epicenter of all things higher education—our campus is a reminder that you’re part of a greater community.
Whether you’re living on campus, commuting, or visiting once a year as a low-residency student, you’re an integral part of the student life and culture at Lesley.

Doble Campus
Explore Our Past and Present
Over the past 100 years, we’ve made our mark here in Cambridge. Our presence extends along vibrant Massachusetts Avenue, starting at South Campus, situated right next door to historic Harvard Square, all the way to Porter Campus, located in the heart of eclectic Porter Square.
You could say we’ve come a long way from our beginnings, but not so far that we’ve forgotten our roots. Our story began at our founder Edith Lesley’s home, which still stands on Doble Campus.
