Residential College
Residential College is an academic concept with residential halls, dining facility, classrooms, conference center, library, computer center and a visiting residential fellow. The objective is to create an environment that facilitates collaborative and communal learning and living, factors significant to improving the quality of undergraduate education.
An Honors College education, especially the ones built around a residential program, offers a rich and rewarding experience to students. A recent marketing survey of honors programs by University Business observes that “there is a growing volume of data that suggests that students enrolled in honors programs at better public and private institutions are academically similar to students enrolled in our nation’s best private colleges and universities.” One contributing factor that makes such an education distinctive is the fact that “Honors colleges can create a powerful residential life experience.” This allows for “greater bonding among students, between students and faculty, and between students and the institution when they include dedicated living opportunities such as an honors dorm.” Residential College is housed in Vandenberg Hall.
