Student Life

Explore your purpose outside the classroom

While you’ll be expected to study hard, life at Chestnut Hill College encompasses much more than tests, terms papers, and the four walls of Logue Library. Whether it’s leading a student club, playing Quidditch, or enjoying a night out in Philly, you’ll find plenty of opportunities to explore your passions — and make memories to last a lifetime.

Whether in the classrooms, across campus, or around the world, CHC students are making news and sharing their stories. Like our Mission says, we nurture integrity, spirituality, and dedication to justice in and for all. We are proud to support our students and their efforts on campus and in our broader communities.
