At a residential college you’ll become part of a welcoming, diverse and thriving community of students. You will make lasting friendships, share incredible experiences, further your academic and cultural pursuits and embrace unique opportunities which will shape your life.
Each residential college has a furnished room, to make your own as well as shared community spaces and three meals are served daily.
When you live at a residential college, you not only share meals, have fun and make close friendships, you become part of something bigger than yourself. From academic support and leadership opportunities to a broad range of cultural and sporting activities to get involved with, college is a place for you to pursue your passions, be exposed to new ideas and interests, and discover who you are.
