Manhattan University (formerly Manhattan College) is a small, private Catholic university in the Riverdale section of the Bronx, New York, known for strong programs in business, engineering, nursing, education, and the liberal arts on a compact, residential campus steps from Van Cortlandt Park. Students often rave about the close‑knit Lasallian community, small class sizes, active campus life with over 100 clubs, competitive Division I Jaspers athletics, and the easy access to New York City while still feeling like part of a tight‑knit college “bubble.”
Common Majors
business administration, finance, engineering (especially mechanical and civil)
“I love Manhattan’s compact, Riverdale‑campus feel, how easy it is to get involved in the Jaspers, clubs, and the city, but from a past‑student view I’ll say the split between commuters and residents, the sometimes‑tight campus spaces, and the way the Bronx‑location vibe can feel a bit isolated from the Manhattan‑tourist scene were all more noticeable once I stopped visiting and started living there.”
