3 of your 4 answers are just wrong. Liberal arts colleges can’t have colleges inside them….

Middlebury tried to have colleges, which they called Commons, but it never took. The school is small enough that it never made much sense.

They already are residential colleges. That’s like the entire point of a liberal arts college lol

Isn’t smith set up like this?

I attended Wake and we had dorms. I did live in the same one for 3 years because that was where my sorority had assigned rooms. We had basically 2 places to eat on campus-The Pit (our cafeteria) or the food court in the student center.

My daughter is headed to a small LAC in MA where close to all freshman live in a 3 dorm cluster. And there is really only the cafeteria as a general eating place for all students in the student center.

As I’ve told my 3DC, you have the rest of your life to live in an apartment. If you can, stay on campus.

Penny pinchers closed the house dining halls.

Incorrect. Middlebury is 1/3 the population of Harvard, but Harvard has 12 houses.

Yes but that means three years of a single house. All freshman live together for a year and then get sorted.

OP looking for the full vertical four year experience, I think?

Princeton has colleges and then eating clubs so different divisions for the first 2 and last 2
years. As a PP said, Caltech but also MIT.

This doesn’t seem like a selection criteria though.

Your point being? A college could be the size of Harvard and have 4 houses or 20. Doesn’t mean much tbh.

Small schools with just a single dining hall can get old quickly. However, many small schools offer two dining halls and a campus pub.

Wake has a good amount of new housing. There are two cafeterias, the Pitt meaning the main one, and then an upperclassman one on North side of campus. Then, the food court and a few other speciality places, like Shortys for hamburgers, and a Peet’s. Students can live on campus all four years, and a good amount do, but there’s no guarantee of housing in the same dorm for the three upper class years.

Rice system was nice, similar to what Oxford has or had, but that was in 1990s, not sure what they are doing now. I was a grad student so only saw it from that perspective.

Yes, they’ve added about 2000 students since I attended.

Shorty’s was new as I was leaving.
