Study Abroad
Manchester is set apart by rich hands-on and
immersive experiences that give you a broader
perspective. Studying abroad is a rare opportunity
to learn about a subject first-hand in a setting that
brings it to life. Imagine snorkeling for starfish in
The Bahamas to study ecology, viewing the world’s
greatest masterpieces in Paris in an art class or touring
the pyramids of Egypt for an in-depth view of religion.
The world awaits!
Residential Life
For most students, going to college means living on
your own for the first time. But that doesn’t mean
you have to go it alone. In one of our five residence
halls, you’ll be a member of a supportive, tight-knit
community of students, faculty and staff who will be
your new family at your home away from home!
Success Center
Student Organizations
Manchester has more than 60 student clubs and
organizations. When you join one, you’re sure to make
new friends. But you also learn what it’s like to engage
with others and how to work together toward a
common goal, while building confidence and shaping
your values.
The Success Center is for all students at every stage
of their academic journey – from honors students to
those who are facing specific challenges. It includes
one-on-one academic support, advising, disability
services and the Writing Center. Here, you’ll find the
empowerment to take your college experience to
the next level.
Intercultural Connections
One of the cool things about going to college is
meeting new people – some very different than you.
You get to learn about different cultures, learn how
others live, and share some of yourself with them as
well. Our international students come to Manchester
from 20 different countries, and we’re proud of what
they bring to MU!
