Massachusetts

American International College in Springfield

Amherst College in Amherst
Private. We encountered no problems with security. There are many pathways leading in all directions and not one direction in which a majority of the students seem to be headed.

Anna Maria College in Paxton

Assumption College in Worcester
Private. Most pathways converge on the center of the lower campus; this is good leafleting but traffic is slower than at many schools.

Atlantic Union College in South Lancaster

Babson College in Babson Park
Private. Traffic is heavy during class changes, but campus is spread out. Try leafleting in front of the library/campus center or on paths leading to parking lots.

Barnstable High School in Hyannis

Bay State College in Boston

Becker College in Worcester

Bentley College in Waltham
Private. College Drive encircles the campus and leads to both the library and the student center. Good leafleting along the sidewalks and in courtyard in front of LaCava. Repeat: there is no public access for leafleting, you must sneak on campus. Between class changes campus is barren. Students walk in many different directions; probably best to have two leafleters. Also, no parking passes are available, you must park in a student lot without a permit; I was not ticketed 4/08 BG

Boston Architectural Center in Boston

Boston College in Chestnut Hill
Private. Absolutely no leafleting on the premises. However, there are several busy public sidewalks along Commonwealth Avenue and at the Boston College T Stop.

Private. Traffic is steady anywhere along Commonwealth Avenue (public sidewalk), especially at the Boston University - Central T Stop in front of the student union.

Brandeis University in Waltham
Private. Campus is very large and spread out, but a road near the student union leads from one campus to the other and is pretty busy during class changes. Security guard seemed to think that table space could be obtained; however, after being caught leafleting, I have been officially banned from this campus for life. 5/08 BG

Private. Best to leaflet near the Science Center on one of the many paths. Come early (930am) to beat other leafleters; by noon there are multiple groups tabling/leafleting. There is good foot traffic early on in the day and you will not have to compete for attention. 5/08 BG

Hebrew College in Brookline

Holyoke Community College in Holyoke
Public. Two pathways lead from parking lots to the main campus, and if far enough down the pathway (closer to the lots), there should be no security issues. Great spot.

School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston
Private. This campus is just one building and can be leafleted successfully from the public sidewalks of Huntingdon Avenue, but only during class changes.

Stonehill College in North Easton
Private. Quiet campus, but traffic does pick up during class changes. Campus center and nearby pathways are busy.

Suffolk University in Boston
Private. All public sidewalks from which to leaflet. There is a dormitory and campus cafe on Tremont Street that are fairly good leafleting. The campus is incredibly spread out through the city. I found the best leafleting to be at 8 Ashburton Place between Somerset and Bowdoin. The sidewalk is very small, forcing the students to often walk in a single file which makes for good leafleting. Bigger during class changes, but a decent trickle for most of the day. 4/08 BG

The English High School in Jamaica Plain
Corner of Williams and Amory. Students walk towards the Orange Line T stop this way. 5/08 BG

Private. Supposedly no leafleting, but others were doing it and we never got told otherwise. Best leafleting is in front of library, between staircases. This is near the corner of Professors Way and Latin Square. If you get booted, the gate at this corner is on a public sidewalk. Busy during class changes, decent trickle of students throughout the day. 4/08 BG

University of Massachusetts - Amherst in Amherst

Public. No problems leafleting from inside the catwalks. There is also a lower courtyard that was moderately good leafleting.

University of Massachusetts - Dartmouth in North Dartmouth
Public. Leafleted outside of the student union, on a pathway that led from several academic buildings to the union and the parking lots. Security saw me but said nothing. Best leafleting right in front of the Liberal Arts building, on the path leading to it, the area between Liberal Arts and Auditorium, or on the steps right behind Liberal Arts Build. 5/08 BG

University of Massachusetts - Lowell in Lowell
Public. North Campus along University Ave is better than South Campus (near campus center and dining halls). No security issues (though Jack was kicked out in 1996). Both campuses can be leafleted on different days. South Campus leafleting best near parking lot on Broadway by Dugan and Mahoney halls. There is a security guard that deals with parking, but I was able to covertly leaflet without him noticing. Free parking near pond at Wilder and Pawtucket. 5/08 BG

Wellesley College in Wellesley
Private. I leafleted at class changes only, near the dining hall. No security problems (though I was trying especially hard to be covert).
