The Residential Colleges at UCA are similar to what you are probably expecting from traditional Residence Halls.  The cost is the same, and the basic services are the same.  In the Residential Colleges, however, the focus is expanded to encompass both the social and academic aspects of a student's first year in college. These programs--targeted at freshmen--make additional resources available to help students with that often difficult transition to University life.

The Residential College Program at UCA currently consists of three communities: Hughes, State, and Short/Denney. Each Residential College has a unique theme and character; more details can be learned about each on the individual websites.

Just a few of advantages of living in a Residential College:

• Students take some of their classes in their Residence Hall, making studying and doing homework together even more convenient.
• Upperclass Mentors and Resident Assistants serve as positive role models and are always willing to help freshmen with any questions.
