SNHU's 300-acre campus is located just minutes from downtown Manchester. It's also situated in a region that meets a variety of interests of our students, with the mountains to the north, the ocean to the east and Boston to the south. In 2017, the university acquired facilities at Nashua Airport, which includes a flight center, tower building and hangar. In partnership with Air Direct Airways (ADA), the College of Engineering, Technology and Aviation (CETA) offers hands-on instruction for aeronautical and aviation programs here.
