The school's main facility and school symbol is Stockbridge Hall, named after Levi Stockbridge, a founder of Massachusetts Agricultural College and its first professor of agriculture; however, its faculty occupies various buildings on the University of Massachusetts campus, including Agricultural Engineering, Bowditch, Clark, Fernald, French, Stockbridge, and West Experiment Station.

As a two–year school, its students are not allowed by the NCAA to play on varsity teams.

Students may also take advantage of many noncompetitive recreational opportunities or participate in the University of Massachusetts' intramural program, one of the largest in the East.

Alpha Tau Gamma is the social and academic fraternity of the Stockbridge School of Agriculture.

Their Chapter House is located at 118 Sunset Avenue on several acres of land near the Southwest dormitories.
