Bombing suspect attended UMass Dartmouth, prompting school closure
The UMass Dartmouth campus closed abruptly today after school officials realized the man being sought as the Boston Marathon bomber is a student at the Southeastern Massachusetts school.
On its webpage, the school posted a stark message: “UMass Dartmouth has learned that a person being sought in connection with the Boston Marathon bombing has been identified as a student registered at UMass Dartmouth. The campus is closed. Individuals on campus should shelter in place unless instructed otherwise.”
In a telephone interview, Pamala Rolon, a UMass Dartmouth senior at and a resident assistant at the Pine Dale dorms, said she knew Dzhokhar Tsarnaev for the past year and finds it incredulous that he played any role in the bombs at the Boston marathon.

Rolon said the 19-year-old studied marine biology, and was quite studious. She did say that he was not seen on campus over the past two weeks, although she didn’t think much about it because everyone was busy with tests and studying.
