History
Suffolk University was originally founded as a law school in 1906 by Boston lawyer Gleason Archer, Sr., who called it "Archer Night Law School," which intends for law students working during the day. The school was renamed Suffolk Law School in 1907, after Archer transferred it from Roxbury, Massachusetts to his law offices in downtown Boston.
A year later the first Archer students had passed the exam, thus encouraging enrollment. The original purpose of the school was to "serve ambitious young men who are required to work for life while learning the law."
In 1930, Archer developed Suffolk into one of the largest law schools in the country, and decided to create a "great night university" that could be reached by working people.
The school became a university in the 1930s when the College of Suffolk Arts and Sciences was founded in 1934 and the Sawyer Business School - later known as the College of Business Administration - in 1937. That same year, three academic units were combined as Suffolk University.
During the 1990s Suffolk built the first hostel, started a satellite program with another college in Massachusetts, and opened its international campus. From 1990 to 2005, its contribution increased by more than 400%, to about $ 72 million, and registrations increased.
Presiden (1906-sekarang)
On February 5, 2016, President Suffolk University, Margaret McKenna and Chairman of Supervisory Board Andrew Meyer, Jr., announced an agreement, formulated for the University's best interests after a trustee to move the president out of office after seven months at the office. Meyer says he will not seek re-election after his term ends in May 2016. After the election of the new council chairman and adoption of the new rules, a search committee will be formed to begin the search process for a new permanent president, and McKenna will resign when the new president comes to power at the beginning of the academic year 2017-18. McKenna was fired on July 28, 2016. On March 8, 2018, it was announced that Marisa Kelly was elected the 11th permanent president, officially taking off her temporary title from her title.

Campus
The main campus in downtown Boston is located on the famous Beacon Hill, adjacent to the Massachusetts State House and the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court. Until 1995 Suffolk was a special commuter school. Currently, there are four residential dorms, housing more than 65% of new students, and a total of 24% of the entire undergraduate population. The Residence Halls are:
- 150 Tremont
- Miller Hall
- 10 West
- Modern Theater
The residence hall at 150 Tremont Street is the first built by the university and currently accommodates students in singles, doubles, quads, and suites, with shared bathrooms. Nathan R. Miller Residence Hall (located at 10 Somerset St) was opened in 2005 and has 15 new student floors, and 2 floors on the second floor in single, double and quadruple size, with the bathroom shared between any two rooms or one room shower per quad.
10 West Residence Hall, opened in 2008, has housing for new students and second year in singles and doubles. The suites accommodate 3-5 students and apartment-style suites (which include a fully equipped kitchen) of 2 to 8 students.
Miller Hall and 150 Tremont have cafeterias. Students living in 10 West/Modern Theater can dine at 150 Tremont. Suffolk University occasionally hires additional properties (such as Hyatt & Holiday Inn Beacon Hill). If hired, the location becomes a place for new students. In 2015, due to the long waiting housing list, Suffolk is occupied by new students at the Massachusetts College of Art and Design and the MCPHS University.
The Modern Theater Residence Hall opened in the fall of 2010 and is considered an extension to the 10 West Resident Hall. Two halls of residence share one entrance at 10 West Street. The Modern Theater Residence Hall is built on the restored Modern Theater (Boston).
In addition to the main campus in Boston, there are satellite campuses in Madrid, Spain, and Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
