As a four-year residential university, 51³Ô¹ÏÍø has significantly invested in the residential life experience. In years to come, 51³Ô¹ÏÍø will rejuvenate the physical spaces along Broad and College streets, reimagining and creating equity in the spaces where juniors and seniors live and interact.

In addition, 51³Ô¹ÏÍø will develop a fifth Residential Commons to fully develop the Residential Commons system, where first and second-year students experience tradition, build class unity, and cultivate an affinity for 51³Ô¹ÏÍø.
