Since 1967, the Residential College (RC) has offered undergraduate students a unique living-learning experience in which they benefit from being members of a small college community with full access to the offerings and resources of a world class research university.
The distinctive educational mission of the RC is to enable students to develop their intellectual interests and creative talents in an environment in which they can find their own voice and relate learning with doing. The RC faculty and staff challenge students to take the initiative in shaping their own education, to participate actively in classes and in extra-curricular programs, to think critically about what they are learning and reflectively about what they are doing, and to engage with the University community as well as the outside world.
