A successful transition to college life and apartment living requires a flexible attitude and a real willingness to assume personal responsibility for the household and the community.

Kresge College provides a lively, fun and creative residential community, with active participation from both students and staff. The college is composed of two sections, Kresge Proper and Redwood Grove, which are separated by a wooded ravine and joined by footbridges. Kresge College is made up entirely of apartments. Students live more independently and are able to create a more home-like environment. In apartments, students can study, relax, cook their own meals and socialize with friends in a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere. Students have the opportunity to learn life skills within a cooperative living environment.
