A tranquil riverside campus on the edge of New Hampshire’s biggest city

Private Suburban Peaceful Restaurants

While Southern New Hampshire University enrolls tens of thousands of students in its various online programs, a scant 3,000 attend classes at the university’s charming Manchester campus on the banks of the Merrimack River… this gives students access to an enormous wealth of academic resources while retaining the tranquil environment of a small campus community. Dozens of student organizations and clubs provide endless opportunities to pursue your interests outside the classroom, ranging from mathematics to radio broadcasting to Division II sports.

The campus is somewhat removed from the city center, and many of the more affordable apartments in Manchester will be closer to downtown – living in this area will put you within easy walking distance of the dining and entertainment options along Elm, Lowell, and Hanover Streets. Check out an exhibit at the Currier Museum of Art, grab a pint at the riverfront Stark Brewing Company, or catch a show at the historic Palace Theatre.
