Residence Life
Our Mission
The Residence Life program at Marymount Manhattan College is committed to the overall growth, development and education of its residents. Our primary goal is to provide a safe, secure, and comfortable educational environment while providing residents the opportunities to become involved, exercise their leadership skills, and be part of a residential community. We seek to promote individual growth: challenging values and attitudes, developing qualities of respect for others, intellectual curiosity, social responsibility, cultural awareness, self-discipline, independent judgment, and personal responsibility.
The Residence Halls
Marymount Manhattan College offers housing at the 55th Street Residence Hall, de Hirsch, and the Manhattan Park Residence. Our residence halls offer a safer and friendly living environment all within a 20 to 30 minute commute from the College. The 55th Street Residence Hall, located between 2nd and 3rd Avenues, is our First Year Experience Hall, and is home to over 500 residents. The de Hirsch Residence Hall is located at Lexington Avenue and 92nd Street, and houses transfer students and upperclassmen (sophomore, junior and senior students). Manhattan Park is located on Roosevelt Island at 10, 20, 30, and 40 River Road, and houses primarily upperclassmen (sophomore, junior and senior students).
Living In a Residential Community
As a resident at MMC, you are a member of a community. Your living environment is a community as well. As such, we hope that you choose to share aspects of yourself by participating in a variety of experiences and group events. Being a part of the residential community will allow you to learn a great deal about yourself and others. Your college experience can be greatly enhanced by your out-of-classroom and community involvement. Each individual has the responsibility to behave in a manner that does not interfere with the rights of others. In exercising your personal rights with respect for others, you can help to ensure a positive environment.
