What Is Student Life Like at Le Moyne?

Find your people. Try something new. Make The Heights your home.

Student life at Le Moyne (known as the “Heights”) combines a close-knit campus community with opportunities to explore Syracuse, join more than 100 clubs and organizations, hang out with friends at campus events, participate in athletics and recreation, and build lasting friendships. Ask students what makes The Heights feel like home, and they’ll tell you about the people they met and the experiences they shared.

The friends I made, the people I met, and the great things I was involved in will be with me for the rest of my life. You won’t regret being too involved here.

Living and Dining

"I chose Le Moyne college because of the sense of community! Everywhere you go someone always says 'hey' to you and gives you a friendly smile! At first I was not sure what to expect moving 2.5 hours away from home but it is one of the best decisions I’ve made!"

What's It Like to Live on Campus?

Let’s face it: Where you live is a key part of your college experience. It shapes who you have dinner with on a random Tuesday and who joins you for a movie on a rainy Saturday. The residence halls are where you will connect with lifelong friends from Le Moyne.

What's for dinner?

From the Dining Center to the Dolphin Den and Kaffe Nuvo to the McNeil Firehouse, students have plenty of choices for meals, snacks and coffee throughout the day, including options for different dietary needs.

’Phins meet Fun

"Try one thing that is related to something you love to do, and then try one that is outside of your comfort zone. This is the time of your life to try new things, stretch your mind and imagination. Le Moyne is going to prepare you well for life after college - you just have to participate!"
