Housing on Campus: Which colleges have the most housing units like Oxford's?

Hey guys! I'm really interested in the housing system like Oxford University. I was wondering, do you know any colleges that offer the most housing units (like Oxford's colleges)? I'd love to have a similar on-campus living experience.

Sure, I see you're interested in schools with the college housing system like Oxford where students belong to a smaller, intimate residential college within the larger university. This collegiate system encourages community-building and provides a smaller, more personal environment for students.

The colleges that come to mind with a similar setup include:

1. Yale University - This Ivy League school in Connecticut has 14 residential colleges, each with their own distinct community, traditions, and architecture. Students live in their residential colleges for all four years, and the colleges even have separate dining halls and study rooms!

2. Harvard University - Has 12 residential houses, and like Yale, students are assigned after their freshman year and they remain affiliated with the house throughout their time at Harvard. Each house has its own dining hall, common rooms, and libraries.

3. Princeton University - Has six residential colleges. First- and second-year students are required to live in one of the residential colleges, but students often retain their college affiliation throughout their Princeton career.

4. Rice University - Rice has a similar college system with 11 residential colleges where students eat, socialize, and live. Students are randomly assigned to one of them upon entering Rice, and they remain affiliated with that college throughout their time there.

5. Dodge Hall at Columbia University - Slightly different in structure, Columbia model offers a diverse community through a representative housing model where a significant portion of the student body lives on campus in several residence halls.

6. Stanford University - Stanford’s residential education program includes on-campus houses in which students live and learn together. The houses often host academic and social programming, fostering a strong sense of community.

So yes, there are plenty of schools embracing a similar residential system to Oxford, promoting school spirit, curricular and co-curricular learning, mentorship and much more, to enhance the overall student experience. I hope this helps clarify your question about the availability of Oxford-style housing in U.S colleges.
