Housing Models

Residence halls and residential colleges are the two most common accommodation options. The main distinction between them is the level of faculty participation. Residence halls provide all of the programmes and services that a student requires to have a positive residential experience. Residential colleges provide more chances for faculty engagement and programming, as well as community continuity, thanks to a culture of returning residents and long-term academic affiliations.
