Students Say
Manhattan College in New York, isn’t actually in Manhattan, but is close enough— a quick 30-minute subway trip from the Riverdale section of the Bronx. A Catholic university, Manhattan honors the “five LaSallian values” (“promoting faith, respect, education, community and social justice”), which shape the culture on campus, primarily in its commitment to “service,” but also apparent in the presence of Catholic brothers, who teach some of the courses. Students overwhelmingly praise “outstanding” professors who are “not only outstanding in fields they teach, but they also care very deeply for their students.” Most “are industry professionals, or PhDs that have a lot of experience in the subject matter that they are teaching,” providing “an academic experience where one is able to connect the theory behind a certain subject to practical real world applications.” Small classes offer a “12:1 student-faculty ratio.” The school “carries prestige” and has “a lot of connections,” in the “public sector and private industry,” so students have a “greater chance of being placed/connected with an internship that closely relates to their field of choice.” This is “especially true for the engineering and education departments.” Manhattan “gives you room to take initiative, but also does a good job of keeping students on track.” Manhattan has “an outstanding internship program, and “good rates at helping students finding jobs after college,” especially with the help of past Jaspers [the college mascot] in the strong alumni network.

Students Say
Manhattan has “an eclectic mix of students, typical of an institution within…New York City.” Many students are “relatives of alumni that have went here, usually their parents,” and many are also “first-generation college students, which is something LaSallian institutions pride themselves on.” Students boast of the campus’ true diversity and familiarity: “Coming back to school at Manhattan after a break is like going to a family reunion,” a student says. “You meet people from NY to Alaska” and “all over the world.” Students are “generally engaged in class discussions and are passionate about their studies and extra-curricular activities.” Students get a chance to “make a ton of friends and build relationships that will last a lifetime.” One comment sums up the general student body sentiment: “I am very lucky to call myself a Jasper.”

Overview
From The School
Location
At Manhattan College, we offer a truly unique location within the boundaries of New York City right next door to a subway stop. Unlike many other New York City schools, we have a true college campus-23 acres centered around a quad, where students play Frisbee, study under the sun and hang out with friends. Manhattan's professors use NYC as a classroom with field trips to Wall Street, museums and other world-famous locations.
The undergraduate student body of 3,444 hails from 44 states and 60 countries. With a four-year guarantee of resident housing, 82 percent of freshmen live on campus in both traditional style dorms and suite style living. Common interest communities bring students with a particular interest under one roof to live and learn throughout the year.
Campus Facilities & Equipment
The Raymond W. Kelly ('63) Student Commons opened in fall 2014. The 70,000-square-foot building significantly enhances the College's ability to integrate academics and student life, and provides space for fitness and wellness programming, cultural and community events, dining, student activities, and student collaboration.
O'Malley Library is home to a number of new features and services, including more than 100 computer workstations, a round-the-clock Internet Cafe, a media center equipped with teleconferencing capabilities, and many group study rooms scattered throughout the five-story layout.
Both commuters and residents can take advantage of the Fitness Center and newly renovated cafeterias. There are a variety of dining options, as well as spaces to relax and study.
Off-Campus Opportunities
Students actively define their commitment toward community around the city, country and world. Each year, Campus Ministry and Social Action (CMSA) runs several L.O.V.E. programs (Lasallian Outreach Volunteer Experience) giving students service experiences in areas such as New Orleans, Kenya, Ecuador, the Dominican Republic and West Virginia.
Many students also participate in local community service projects. These include Habitat for Humanity, working with the elderly in nearby nursing homes, volunteering in soup kitchens and tutoring at local schools.
Students are provided with internship opportunities in their field of study throughout the metropolitan area often networking with alumni.

Students Say
Students say Manhattan College’s location—last stop on the 1 train—can’t be beat for ease into the more bustling parts of the city, but if you stay on campus, “the size of the school is large enough that there are plenty of people to meet and activities to participate in.” In nice weather, “everyone hangs out outside on the Quad” or at “Kelly Commons.” “Van Cortlandt Park is also very close so people will hike and just hang out” in the “green spaces” there. Manhattan College “isn’t considered a party school; however, most people do party and go out on the weekends,” including those thrown by “frats,” a sport’s team’s house, or head over to Fordham’s college bars. At the end of the night, however, “everyone always ends up at Fenwick’s (the only bar at Manhattan College). Dorms are “a pleasure,” though students point out that “the campus itself is fairly spread out, with the Engineering building being separated from what is called Main Campus,” which effectively “separates the student population.” Yet “you seem to meet everyone, whether it’s in the small classes or sitting next to them in the student section during an insane basketball game.”
