Residential Villages are designed for first-year students with similar interests or academic majors. Students live together and are enrolled in one course together. For a listing of the courses associated with each village, please see Residential Village Course Listing.
During the semester you have an opportunity to easily form study groups; have faculty presentations; participate in related programs such as field trips, movie nights and guest lectures; and have peer-resources living right down the hall. Residential Villages provide many opportunities for you to live, learn, and excel all within the comfort of your new home.
