At Columbia College Chicago, our residence life housing isn't just a place
for students to hang their hats. It's a place for them to roll up their sleeves
and get to work. It's a place for them to meet other artists, other thinkers,
other performers and to collaborate in ways that had never occurred to them
before.
You won't find any dorms on this campus. You will, however, find some of the
most innovative student housing in the country. You'll find residence
facilities that feel like extensions of the classroom, that function as
networking facilities. You'll find living space that's only a few steps down
the hall from music practice rooms and art studios. You'll find living,
breathing, creative communities that will nurture your work, enliven your work,
expand and inspire your work.
Come see what Columbia College Residence Life can offer you.
