For Parents : Residential Life

The residential system supports and reflects, in environment, philosophy and program, the educational mission of the College. The halls and houses are communities of people committed to intellectual discovery and the excitement of new friendships and perspectives.

“Kalamazoo College affirms the educational benefits inherent in the residential undergraduate experience. Residential living is supportive of one's academic preparation and plays an integral role in one's experiential education, providing rich opportunities for involvement and development. Therefore, Kalamazoo College requires all students to reside within the College's residential system and board at the College's dining center, through winter quarter of their junior year."
