Residence Life

Home Away From Home

Merrimack believes in a strong sense of community where you’ll be part of a supportive environment. 

One way you can be part of this community is through college housing. Students have a variety of types of residence halls they can live in during their time at Merrimack, from standard double rooms and suites to apartments on and off campus.

Students will get to know their resident advisor (RA), a returning student who lives within the community. The role of the RA is to help students through their college experience. This can happen through RA-planned events, helping students get to know each other, or even connecting students to resources on campus. 

Within the residence halls there are lots of common spaces for students to gather. Students often congregate in common rooms to hang out, play video games, study together or attend an event.
