The Residential Colleges

Find community and engage! Whether you live on campus or not, you will be affiliated with one of our 10 residential colleges, providing many opportunities for activities, advising, and leadership. The colleges are not associated with your major. So for example, you can major in computer engineering but be affiliated with Porter College, where the theme is arts-centered.
