Shepard Residential College

626 University Place

Shepard Residential College is a medium-sized residential college on South Campus. It houses around 180 freshmen and sophomores and is located across from Allison Residential Hall. It is one of only two non-thematic residential colleges, meaning the students that reside here have a wide variety of interests, from theatre to engineering. Shepard hosts firesides with faculty and professors, midnight running, midnight ultimate frisbee, munchies every Thursday and several other events throughout the year.

What residents say

“Shepard is full of the kind of people you want to come home to at the end of the day. There are a lot of musically inclined people which makes for a lot of cool excursions.”

Cailin Whisler, Weinberg freshman

“There is a good sense of community, but bad facilities”

Carol Shou, Weinberg freshman

“It's very eclectic. There are no individual floor lounges so people live in the hallways. There are enough bathroom stalls so that if there are two people puking after a night out, I can still pee.”

Carlin McCarthy, Medill freshman

“Compared to the rest of the places on campus, Shepard has really nice amenities, a great atmosphere, and the lounges are really awesome.”

Haley Dunbrack, Weinberg freshman
