Academic Interest Housing

At Bucknell University, students have a range of housing choices. You can room with friends, join a fraternity or sorority or rely on the luck of the draw. Many students prefer to combine their academic or personal interests with their residential experience. If that’s you, we offer several academically based and special-interest housing options.

• Residential Colleges: Theme-based Housing with an Academic Twist. These first-year students take a class together, live in the same area of a residence hall, connect with mentors and even travel off campus through one of seven programs.
• Choice. This housing option provides an interactive living-learning environment minus any alcohol, tobacco, or other drugs.
• Seventh Street House. This housing option is for students with a strong interest in our African-American and Caribbean studies programs.
