Soar - Montclair State University Residence Life

soar

When you’re a resident Red Hawk, you’re part of something. Something that moves you. Elevates you. And ultimately, propels you to your dreams. To be one of almost 5,000 students who live here on

campus, is to experience inspiration where you live.

Our award-winning residence halls have everything from the latest technology to breathtaking views. The 77,000-square-foot Campus Recreation Center is a hub for health and fitness on campus, with a

two-court gym, pool, racquetball courts, an indoor track, daily classes and the latest fitness equipment.

You can take in performances at our state-of-the-art Kasser Theater, cheer our NCAA Division III sports teams to victory, pursue your interests through

more than 120 clubs and organizations, pledge our thriving Greek life, or just hang out on our scenic Quad. And with the lights of Manhattan dotting

our horizon, few universities bring you closer to the city, or your dreams.

Make us your home and spread your wings. This is where you can soar.

I chose Communication Studies because I want to be a P.R. Specialist.

Maybe I’ll work in a university. Who knows! I chose The Village at Little

Falls because I wanted a living room, kitchen, and more independence.
