Not sure I would characterize Risley by one incident. My son has lived there for three years and will be there for his senior year, too. While most students have some interest in the fine arts, there are engineers, CS majors and math majors. It’s an eclectic mix of students. To stay there year after year, they have added a requirement that residents get involved in the Risley community. It’s no longer guaranteed that one can stay otherwise.
