residential college
Live-in academic community
A residential college is a living-learning community within a larger university, where students share housing, dining, and academic or social programming.
Unlike dormitories that merely provide beds, residential colleges foster closer faculty-student relationships and a sense of belonging to a smaller community: Each residential college has its own dining hall and traditions.
The model originated at Oxford and Cambridge and appears at universities like Yale and Rice.
