Residential Colleges (like Oxford's housing system)?

College Search & Selection
1

<p>I really love this living style and I was wondering if any colleges other than Harvard and Yale have this style of housing.</p>

2

<p>Rice is a well known example</p>

3

<p>I think that UC San Diego has this style.</p>

4

<p>Princeton. Others are looking that direction - Franklin and Marshall for one.</p>

5

<p>Middlebury, I believe.</p>

6

<p>UCSD does have that style, it has 6 colleges - Revelle, Muir, Eleanor Roosevelt, Thurgood Marshall, Earl Warren, and Sixth, each with a distinct personality, dining hall, and general ed requirements.</p>

7

<p>The University of Toronto’s main campus has different residential colleges.</p>

<p>A simple Google search reveals the following wikipedia article, which lists quite a few schools, including most already mentioned.</p>

<p>[Residential</a> college - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Residential_college]Residential”>Residential college - Wikipedia)</p>

<p>Chicago also comes to mind. Their house system offers a bit of competition (i.e. Scav Hunt).</p>

<p>The American schools who take the residential college system most seriously are Rice and Yale. The residential college system is a very defining aspect of Rice… when people ask where you are from, you usually reply “I’m from _________ College” (in my case Brown College). Every student is a member of a residential college at Rice, while I don’t think that’s the case at UChicago or UCSD.</p>

<p>Notre Dame, to an extent</p>

<p>somewhat similar, The Claremonts: [Welcome</a> to Claremont.EDU](<a href=“http://www.claremont.edu/]Welcome”>http://www.claremont.edu/)

</p>

<p>Each of the 5 adjoining undergraduate (Pomona, Pitzer, Harvey Mudd, Scripps, & Claremont McKenna) campuses & residential settings is very distinct.</p>

<p>Northwestern has a fake version. It’s a pale imitation though.</p>
