Our Mission
The Residence Life program at Marymount Manhattan College is committed to the overall growth, development, and education of it's 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.

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. For more information, visit our Policies page.

Residence Halls
More than 700 students make their home at Marymount Manhattan College in one of our two residential locations. Think of it as a built-in community, where there's a good chance your neighbor is your classmate or a friend you've made in one of your extracurricular activities. At the same time, you're living in the heart of the cultural and commercial community that is Manhattan, and you're in a prime location to take advantage of all that city life has to offer.
