Residential colleges

As a freshman, you’ll live in a Residential College which is aligned with your academic college at NAU. Living with others who share similar majors or career interests provides an engaging opportunity to establish valuable connections and friendships. Residential Colleges feature programs, events, amenities and academic resources tailored to your college and major. Benefits of living in a Residential College include:

Supportive and engaging community making it easy to meet other students and new friends
Convenient proximity to classes, dining and campus resources
Residential staff focused on your transition and helping you to build a strong foundation for the next four years
Faculty connections, in-hall academic support, and access to 24/7 computer labs and study areas
Higher rates of continuing on to your sophomore year and graduation

Explore your residential college housing options

Specific residence halls are associated with each Residential College, as noted in the chart below. You have the opportunity to search for roommates and select your room within your Residential College.

Please note: Each residence hall houses at least two Residential Colleges. Rooms within the hall are clustered by Residential College, and space is limited for students in different residential colleges to live together. While having the option to request specific roommates, forming a roommate group is not a guarantee of living together as it depends on space availability in those halls at the time of room selection.
