Benefits of the Residential College Experience at Wheaton
At Wheaton College, what happens in the classroom is just one aspect of the unique educational opportunity provided by living on campus. The residence life experience — from making a home together in campus housing to enjoying our award-winning campus dining together — and the Christian community you join here will enhance your learning and growth outside the classroom in powerful and life-shaping ways.

Grow Spiritually, Personally, and Intellectually
Through studying God's word, worshipping together, and the care and support of our residence life staff, you’ll grow in your faith. You'll learn more about yourself, uncovering your gifts, talents, weaknesses and strengths in the context of a supportive community. And those late nights studying together will sharpen your mind, challenging you to think deeply and differently.

Experience Diverse Community
Wheaton students come from diverse cultural, racial and denominational backgrounds. You’ll experience the beautiful variety that makes up the body of Christ, and you’ll be challenged to examine your own assumptions about yourself, your culture and your faith.
