Northwestern's Residential College Board
Proudly serving Northwestern University’s Residential Colleges
Prepare to immerse yourself in the greatest residential experience you’ll have at Northwestern. Befriend faculty fellows at firesides, smack down the other RCs in IM sports, discover hidden Chicago gems, and volunteer for local nonprofits with your dormmates. By joining a residential college, you’ll have fun, broaden your horizons, and make lifelong friendships!

Get Involved
1. Choose a residential college
With 10 unique Residential Colleges, this may be tricky! Regardless of the RC you choose, you’ll be joining a welcoming community and have access to all of RCB’s events and programming, and, if you’re an incoming student, you may list multiple RCs in your Housing Portal. Learn about the RCs here.
2. Join as a resident or non-resident
Incoming Northwestern students may join as a resident of a Residential College, whereas returning students may only have the option to join as a non-resident. Refer to the links below for further guidance.
