Living Your Best MCPHS Life

Student life at MCPHS

At MCPHS, we look at student life holistically. We want you to be inspired in all your activities on campus — academic, professional, and extracurricular.

A dynamic, dedicated community

As you walk through the hallways of our three campuses, you feel the energy of people committed to a healthier world, who enjoy working to making that happen. They organize and participate in activities that spark their inspiration, encompass their passions and, ultimately, empower their futures. The members of our close-knit residential life community are supportive of one another and make the most of Boston's wide range of entertainment, sporting, and cultural events.

Inclusive Community

We embrace the power of inclusivity. After all, healthcare equity remains one of the most pressing issues of our time, and we have a responsibility to address it. We have been nurturing visionaries who could picture a better future for patients since 1823.

Cardinal On the Street

Cardinal on the Street took to the MCPHS Student Activities Fair to ask what our future healthcare leaders wanted to be when they were kids. What was your childhood dream job?

"Students across all programs are constantly working together, from those who spearhead new fundraising opportunities to others who go out into the community offering free health education at the local YMCA. Seeing familiar faces every day really contributes to the feeling of family that we have on this campus."

Courtney Bibbo | Director of Admission, Manchester Campus
