Northwestern University is a private research university in Evanston, Illinois.

There are two main types of housing for college students: residence halls and residential colleges. The main difference between them is the level of involvement from faculty members. Residence halls provide everything necessary for a positive residential experience, while residential colleges offer more opportunities for faculty engagement and a stronger sense of community. Both options provide students with furnished rooms, including a bed, desk, chair, storage space, and waste management tools.
