What are the popular events and traditions at Manhattan University?

Reported Manhattan University events include the Spring Concert, Manhattan Madness, and the Senior Formal. They serve different parts of campus life rather than forming a single kind of tradition.

Manhattan Madness is a basketball-focused pep rally associated with enthusiasm for the Jaspers. The Spring Concert provides a music-centered gathering, while the Senior Formal is oriented toward students approaching graduation. Event dates, formats, and eligibility can change, so a current student-activities calendar is more reliable than assuming that an event will follow a past year's schedule.

What are the student housing and dining options at Manhattan University?

Manhattan University offers college-operated, coed undergraduate housing and campus dining. Housing is an option rather than a description of the typical student's circumstances: the reported majority of students commute.

Residence-hall accommodations include high-speed internet and electronically controlled entrances. Students considering campus housing should review the current residence options, application dates, room-assignment rules, and any first-year or meal-plan requirements. The availability of housing does not mean that a preferred building or room type is guaranteed.

Residents should compare the meal plan attached to their housing choice with their actual schedule and dining needs. Commuters should check which dining options are open between classes and whether a voluntary meal plan makes sense. Students arranging their own off-campus housing should account for travel time and the full cost of rent and utilities when comparing it with campus living.
