What about the residences at the Faculty of Arts & Science colleges?
The colleges in the Faculty of Arts & Science have residences that provide a unique living experience closely tied to each college's academic and social life.

Also, some students from a particular college may choose to live at other options like Chestnut or CampusOne instead. It's important to know that all residences offer a supportive community, various amenities, and opportunities for academic and personal growth.
