Framingham is the largest town in Massachusetts and the hub of the MetroWest region, which is home to hundreds of high-tech startups and Fortune 500 companies. Industry leaders such as Bose, Genzyme, TJX Companies, Staples, Reebok, and EMC all have corporate offices in the area.
Framingham has a unique blend of urban and rural qualities, including a variety of public transportation options, parks and trails, and the "Golden Triangle" of shopping and dining along Route 9. For those who love the feel of a big city, Boston is just down the road, a quick car or train ride away.
FSU students have endless opportunities nearby for internships, jobs and entertainment. The University’s status as the only public 4-year university in the region has allowed us to form strong partnerships with local businesses in the region through our Office of Career Services and Employer Relations.
