Seton Hall is a residential campus with nearly 2,300 students, approximately half of whom come from out of state. In addition to this number, many upper-class students rent apartments or houses in the region and within walking distance of college, which contributes to the residential feel of campus because these students only live a few streets away and spend their weekends participating in campus activities.

Seton Hall University is located in South Orange, New Jersey, just 14 miles from New York City, offering students easy access to the cultural, professional, and networking opportunities available in Manhattan.
