Social Life
Living on campus at Manhattan College opens up ways to engage with daily life beyond just attending classes. Residents can participate in events and gatherings throughout the year, while also joining communities that actively work to improve the environment around them. Through these opportunities, they become more fully part of the everyday rhythm and culture here.
Student Engagement at MANHATTAN COLLEGE
Saturdays often mean trips into New York City, where RAs lead groups to spots like Times Square, Central Park, the Bronx Zoo, or Brooklyn Brewery. Back on campus, those who join dining or safety committees weigh in on everything from cafeteria menus to environmental practices, giving them real influence over daily life.
Student Staff
Resident Assistants live in the dorms and work to build community through programs and support, while Learning Community Assistants focus on themes like happiness or personal growth. Both roles require a year-long commitment that upperclassmen can renew. Meanwhile, those drawn to the campus garden can spend time planting, tending crops, and learning about organic farming—work that contributes to both sustainability and the grounds’ appearance.
Move-In Assistance at MANHATTAN COLLEGE
Manhattan Movers ease the transition for newcomers by helping them settle into campus life during move-in. It’s a fitting role for anyone who enjoys meeting people and genuinely wants to care for others as they navigate their first days here. The only requirements are full-time enrollment and solid academic standing.
