    Living-learning Experience

    Sign up when you choose your first-semester courses.


    Residential Colleges are living-learning communities for first-year students. They're tied to a first-semester class, so you'll get to live and learn with students who share your interests.

    Residential Colleges are open to all students. You can sign up to join whichever Residential College interests you, regardless of what you plan to major in.
