Northeast Dorms.

As the name suggests, Northeast is located on the opposite side of campus from Southwest. This residential area consists of nine buildings assembled in a rectangle surrounding a grassy quad. Having smaller buildings, Northeast tends to be one of the quieter places to live at UMass.

Buildings of note in Northeast include Knowlton, an all female dorm, Hamlin, an all male dorm, and Lewis, a dorm which allows students to live there for nine months out of the year.

Northeast's proximity to the Engineering department has given it the reputation as being one of the more low-key residential areas on campus, but also one where students under the stress of difficult studies enjoy letting off steam. For many years, on one night each spring during finals week, an impromptu gathering of students has taken place in the field between the halls -- The Quad. Once the students have been outside for a short time, loosely organized streaking takes place.

Northeast is also home to the Worcester Dining Commons and the Pita Pit. Totman Gym is located across the street, and the closest parking is the Red Lot by the Dining Commons, or the Purple Lot located just past Totman Gym. The Arnold academic builing is also in Northeast, between Knowlton and Hamlin.
