As a residential college, Marist provides
a variety of living situations. Freshmen
live in their own residence halls - an
arrangement that builds class spirit and
helps students meet people and develop
lasting friendships. Upper-class students
have a number of options, including
traditional residence halls, townhouses, a
garden-style apartment complex and a
mid-rise residence hall in the center of
campus, overlooking the Hudson River.

At Marist, faculty and staff are committed to
making the transition from home to college life as
smooth as possible. Mentors (adult residents) are
available around the clock in freshmen residences
to offer advice and to respond in emergencies.
Faculty advisors are there to customize a unique
program of study to suit you and your goals and
to help you plan your schedule. At Marist, we
consider changes in majors a natural part of the
process of getting to know yourself and your
strengths.
