Residential College

Hobart House, home of the Women’s Residential College, is the only all-female dorm at Northwestern. “Ho House,” as residents fondly call it, is a small dorm nestled in the sorority quad, which gives residents easy access to campus and downtown Evanston. Like all residential colleges, Hobart has a myriad of programs including faculty fellow firesides and excursions in and around Chicago. Though Hobart used to be called the Women’s Studies Residential College, the “studies” was dropped from the name to make it a more inclusive community – and now, women from a variety of schools and majors call it home.
