Colleges and Universities A-Z Northwestern University

<p>In all seriousness, I have no clue as to how I should handle housing at Northwestern next year...</p>

<p>To begin, I have no idea what a Residential College is and how it's different from a dorm at all, or what the unique quirks of Northwestern's housing systems are.</p>

<p>I may be attending WC days on the 23rd, but right now, that hinges on a number of factors that I can't exactly control :&lt;/p>

<p>Anybody care to enlighten?</p>

<p>Cliff Notes*: Res Cols have Themes & rooms with kids. Dorms have Rooms with kids.</p>

<p>edited to add: * If you’re going to NU, you shouldn’t be reading Cliff Notes…</p>
