Welcoming All, Valuing Each: Creating a Home for Everyone!

Experience college life beyond the classroom at Felician University’s Rutherford campus, where residence life is all about community, connection, and making the most of your college experience.

Just less than a mile from downtown Rutherford and only 10 miles from New York City, our campus gives you the best of both worlds — a welcoming residential community with easy access to everything the area has to offer.

Home to 600+ domestic and international students, our residence halls bring together students from different backgrounds, cultures, and experiences. Whether you’re connecting with friends in the residence halls, getting involved on campus, exploring Rutherford, or heading into NYC, there’s always something new to experience.

At Felician, residence life is more than where you live — it’s where you belong. Our community is designed to support your academic success, encourage meaningful connections, and give you opportunities to grow personally and socially.

Find your community. Make memories. Discover your place at Felician.
