Student Life at Seton Hall

When our students aren't in the classroom, they're getting involved in the Seton Hall community — learning to lead with heart in campus organizations, participating in activities and making life-long connections. Our campuses have plenty of opportunities for students to uncover their passion, while making memories that will last a lifetime.

Our campus is active and bustling, filled with activities seven days a week.  Our students hail from all 50 states and over 50 countries. About half of our undergraduate students live on campus, including 80 percent of our first-year students. Many upperclassmen elect to rent apartments or houses just a few blocks from campus, adding to the richness of student activity and extending our residential community. 

Living on campus provides a tremendous opportunity for personal growth and development. It is a place where leaders discover their purpose and appreciate differences, develop respect for others and cultivate resilience by growing their social skills and self-confidence. We have six on-campus residence halls and two off-campus apartment buildings. Within the walls of your residence hall room, you'll find more than just a place to sleep and a new roommate, you'll learn what it takes to build a community and truly be part of one. You'll be involved in hall activities and have the guidance and mentorship of your Resident Assistant and the priests living in our residence halls.

You will likely reflect on your years in college as some of the best of your life.
