Manchester, N.H.: One of America's "Best Places to Live"

Saint Anselm's location provides easy reach to both urban living and outdoor pursuits. The college overlooks New Hampshire's largest city, Manchester: one hour from Boston, one hour from the seacoast, one hour from the White Mountains, and four hours from New York City and Montreal.

Money Magazine cited Manchester as the "Number One Small City in the East" in its article Best Places to Live in America.

Greater Manchester abounds with cultural attractions, including the 15,000-seat Verizon Wireless Arena, Currier Museum of Art, Palace Theatre, New Hampshire Symphony, and numerous cinemas and historical museums. The college is close to the Mall of New Hampshire  and the Manchester Airport , which is serviced by eight major airlines and offers many amenities normally found only at major hub airports.
