While you’re sure to find plenty to do on-campus, everyone likes an adventure from time to time—and Merrimack’s location is part of what makes it so great!
Nestled in the Merrimack Valley, there is opportunity in every direction. Hop on the Warrior shuttle and explore the local area, or have it take you to the commuter rail and head into Boston! There’s always something new to do and somewhere new to visit.
