Welcome to your New York City home.
Residential life at MMC means much more than having a place to study and sleep. It’s where you’ll cook family-style dinners with your new best friends. Where you’ll burst into laughter with roommates during late-night study session-induced delirium. Where you’ll lounge around watching Netflix at the end of a long day. Above all, it’s where you’ll find community, a sense of belonging, and a place to call your own.
Our Residence Halls
Get a taste of the big city life! Our residence halls are nestled in the middle of some of New York’s most exciting neighborhoods. Community and convenience will be right outside your door, while the comforts of home will be waiting for you after a long day.
55th Street Residence Hall
Located in Midtown Manhattan, 55th Street — or simply “55th” as it’s known around campus—is home to more than 500 residents. First-year students, some transfer students, and a limited number of continuing students live at 55th in two-bedroom apartments. Two to four students live in each bedroom, which comes fully furnished with regular-length twin beds, desks, wardrobe/closets, and dressers, designed to maximize your living space. Each apartment has its own kitchenette and bathroom, with a second half-bath and additional vanity in some of the larger apartments.
55th Street is a brisk 16-block walk to campus or a quick bus ride. And with 55th Street just steps away from multiple subway lines, you’ll have easy access to the whole city.
FOUND Study- Turtle Bay Residence Hall
Located in Turtle Bay Manhattan, and our FOUND Study-Turtle Bay Residence Hall is smack dab in the middle of the energy. Located on Lexington Avenue between 48th and 49th Street. The residence hall is home to up to 200 sophomore, junior, senior, and transfer students each year. FOUND Study-Turtle Bay also houses college students from near by colleges and universities. Residents live in two- and three person bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. The bedrooms are fully furnished with a twin XL bed, desk, desk chair, dressers, and a closet or a wardrobe for each resident.
Soak in the culture of Turtle Bay: grab a coffee and catch a train at Grand Central Station to explore the city! There are so many things to see and do…and eat! FOUND Study-Turtle Bay is only a 23-block commute from the main campus by walking, making it the ideal location for those who want proximity to campus and the exciting experience of living in an up-and-coming area of Manhattan.
