This. Many of the smaller LACs and SLACs have guaranteed housing all four years with different styles for upperclass years but it’s completely different than the Yale housing system.

I believe that Franklin and Marshall has some version of this for first year students.

Other than Colgate, the only lac I know with something similar enough to this is the Claremont schools. They’re basically a university of 5 colleges when you get down to the nitty gritty.

Rice and Yale are the most prominent.

Outside of the US, Oxford, Cambridge, and University of Toronto all are notable for their residential colleges.

Notre Dame students identify strongly with their dorm and live in it all four years unless they move off campus. They have dorm swag.

Yes, at Notre Dame you stay in the same dorm for all years you live on campus, creating a tight knit residential community. Many students choose to live off campus senior year, but they can stay in their dorm if they wish.

Obviously the big difference vs the other schools mentioned is that the dorms at ND are single sex.

You need to learn the difference between a consortium and a single university. They are hardly the same.

Differences: name them. Because frankly the schools are on top of each other and don’t seem that distinct being all liberal arts colleges. Anyway, this wasn’t even supposed to be about Claremont, I’d throw rice into the hat for op.
