Colgate students build lifelong bonds as they push learning beyond the walls of the classroom.
The Residential Commons
The Residential Commons program is the foundation of the Colgate residential experience. The commons connect student residents to peers, to faculty, and to intellectually and socially rich programming.
All students live within their Residential Commons for their first two years, with options for more independent living during junior and senior year.
Students identify with the community of their Residential Commons throughout their four years.
Junior and Senior Experience
Colgate students identify with their Residential Commons throughout their time on campus. However, during junior and senior year, there are many housing opportunities outside of the commons allowing students the opportunity to live independently and to form their own communities.
