Welcome to the English House
At Merrimack College, our English department takes residence in a private house located at 25 Rock Ridge Road. Here, students can attend English classes, stop by to chat with English faculty, make tea and take a book to a quiet corner, or even host a community dinner.
In the evenings, drop in for club meetings such as the Writers Circle, No-Shelf Control Book Club, Open Mic Nights, or work with the editorial staff on the Merrimack Review.
Read, write, create, and connect: here at The English House, your home away from home.
