It is not necessary to have a car on campus, but students are welcome to have one. As Olin's campus is adjacent to Babson College, you do not need to drive to take advantage of the number of opportunities the two schools offer for academic, social or recreational activities. Students have easy access to Boston via the commuter rail or the local "T" subway, which are both just a few minutes drive from campus. There will be ample parking for students who choose to have a car at Olin.

Olin's dining service is about as close to gourmet as you can imagine college dining to be. All meals are served in an all-you-can-eat setting in our beautiful dining hall complete with high ceilings, glass paneling and a working fireplace. We are proud to feature "Just-In-Time" Cooking, which allows us to prepare food to order. Our eclectic and varied menu includes vegetarian, vegan, and healthy choice selections.

Olin Mail Services is in operation from 11:00 a.m. - 2:00 p.m. each weekday and is closed on weekends and designated Olin Holidays. Each student resident has a mailbox located on the Lower Level of the Campus Center. Mail Services can be reached at 781-292-2230.
