Living in Manhattan

The Upper West Side is one of Manhattan's most popular neighborhoods. Located between West End Avenue and Riverside Drive, this area is a short walk to some of the finest shopping and dining areas in NYC. Nearby, Central Park and Riverside Park provide opportunities for quiet relaxation and recreation. The area around Riverside Terrace Residence Hall is a warm and friendly residential environment, bustling with cafes, boutiques, bookstores, movie theaters and cultural activities.

Young singles, families with children and senior citizens all make their homes on the Upper West Side. The multicultural ambience will make you feel welcome, whether you're from right around the corner or the other side of the globe. Subways and buses are readily available from Riverside to all areas of New York CIty. We do not recommend that you bring a car to Riverside, and we do not provide parking facilities for students.
