Prepare For A Residential Experience

As students move from freshman to senior year, they are housed in more independent living environments (suite-style, townhouses, and apartments) which helps to prepare them for their eventual move out into the world following graduation. Along the way, they acquire certain freedoms and responsibilities that will help them develop into mature and responsible citizens. Every residence hall on campus is equipped with highly-trained staff all qualified and excited to make each student's living experience at Marist the best it can be.
