Residential colleges are a type of on-campus student residence in which the academic experience is integrated into daily life, creating communities and opportunities for learning outside the classroom among a diverse student body. Led by faculty heads who live in residence, Vanderbilt’s residential colleges create an intentional, mutually-beneficial educational experience for our students, faculty and staff. At Vanderbilt, residential colleges are a space where students are supported to curate their sense of self; pursue integrative learning; dialogue across difference; engage in advocacy; foster their leadership potential; and forge global connections.
