Campus life features 180 student clubs, fraternities, sororities, and an active campus ministry. We also offer the excitement of our Division I Big East men’s and women’s athletic teams.
On our Queens campus, ultramodern residence halls form a Residence Village with some suite-style accommodations, 24-hour security, ample lounges, and a separate dining hall. Juniors and seniors also have the option of townhouse-style residence halls adjacent to the Residence Village. All are a short walk to classroom buildings, athletic facilities, cafeterias, and the University Library.
The Staten Island campus offers modern, apartment-style student residences adjacent to the campus. Featuring kitchens and common lounges, the residences are grouped around a grassy courtyard where students gather to chat, toss Frisbees, or just take in the sun.
