Residential Colleges

What’s a residential college? It’s an area of a residence hall designated for students with the same majors or academic interests.

Living in a residential college isn’t mandatory in most cases – it’s just one more option for you to consider when choosing where to live at CMU. If you select a residential college, you’ll enjoy the benefits of shared classes, cooperative study groups, daily interaction with faculty members, career-related programs, field trips, and more.
