<p>My daughter is a freshman at Y and just called to tell me she has finalized her living group for sophomore year when she will move from Old Campus to her residential college. She was absolutely ecstatic- choosing whom to room with, and knowing where you will live without the hassle of apartment shopping is a great system. Also, while she is also an athlete, she won’t be rooming with team mates, partly because none of them happen to belong to her college. To me this is a good thing- the structure of the residential college system requires her to know many people, not just those in her area of study or her sport. </p>
<p>I can’t say enough positive things about the residential college system.</p>
