Life in the Quiet Corner
The residential houses and halls at Marianapolis are the foundations of a diverse and global residential community unified by our work to grow, play, and live through Marianapolis’ mission. Students learn and grow, through programs and activities, as well as the cultural exchanges inherent in living together in a tight knit house or hall, fostering lifelong connections.
5-DAY BOARDING
Marianapolis is thrilled to launch our new 5-Day Boarding Program this 2020-2021 academic year! This new offering provides students from the New England area with the opportunity to immerse themselves and benefit from the boarding experience during the academic week while enabling them to return home to family on the weekends. 5-day boarding students spend Sunday evening through Friday afternoon living on campus. When a student has a Marianapolis obligation on a Saturday, such as a game or performance, they are permitted to stay on campus until that commitment is over. They will experience and grow from all that our residential life programming and curriculum has to offer while building their independence and learning to live away from home!
Each and every boarding student at Marianapolis is a valued member of the residential community.

WEEKENDS AT MARIANAPOLIS
Being a boarding student at Marianapolis has truly been a life-changing experience. My closest friends live all over the world, and I know that in twenty years we will still remember all of the fun times we have had living together.
”
Boarding students at Marianapolis come from over 20 different countries creating a unique and diverse residential community. Marianapolis’ nine houses and halls provide the feeling of a home away from home. Students are often found in common spaces playing a game of foosball or baking some chocolate chip cookies. On weekends, students are able to participate in numerous activities from shopping trips, to cultural activities, to city excursions. A favorite tradition, the House Cup Challenge, sees houses and halls compete against one another in anything ranging from dodgeball to flag making. A dorm parent is always available as a resource to the boarding students, or simply as a trusted confidant. Throughout the year a boarding student’s roommates and house-mates will soon become family.

NEARBY HANGOUTS Whether you are a day student or a boarding student there is plenty to do in the areas surrounding campus. Thompson is located approximately one hour from Boston, 45 minutes from Providence and is a quick drive to Worcester, Massachusetts. On weekends, students visit these nearby cities to sightsee, shop, dine and explore! Students often go to the neighboring downtown Putnam to shop at antique shops and for a study break at Victoria’s Station Cafe. Despite being called “The Quiet Corner” northeastern Connecticut offers an abundance of cultural activities and is close to so many historic New England cities.
