Ayers Residential College, otherwise known as the College of Commerce and Industry (CCI), is a business and economics-themed residential college on North Campus. Mostly freshman and sophomores live in this mid-sized res college, and partake in group activities such as intramural sports and the annual business symposium. Located in a prime spot next to North Beach, Lisa’s Cafe and one of the main gyms, Henry Crown Sports Pavilion, CCI is a hidden gem.
“I like all the activities they have available to the people who live here. I really like the location because it’s close to [Henry Crown Sports Pavillion]. The thing I don’t like is that the closest dining hall is Sargent, which is still kind of far.”
Lindsay Adamski, SESP freshman
“The community is really nice. Everyone’s pretty close to each other. If you want to make friends, it’s a good place to live. The facilities are nice, and if you want to do work, it’s always quiet if you need to, but if you want to hang out, then you can always do that too. It’s like best of both worlds. It can be loud at times, but you can just go somewhere else.”
Adwaiy Manerikar, Weinberg freshman
“The community is fantastic. The people here are just so nice and welcoming. I’m a sophomore, and I stayed here after my freshman year because I liked it so much.”
Allison Lu, McCormick sophomore
“The lounge is a great place to work. It’s comfortable. I’ve met some great friends… Maybe there could be a way to have more personal interactions between residents. It’s just after a while, people stick to their own groups, and it would be nice to have people from different groups have some more personal connections. ”
Edmond Chen, Weinberg freshman
