Integrating Academic Learning with
Residential Life and Citizenship

CRC (Chadbourne & Barnard Halls) is an outstanding platform for helping students develop their potential through interpersonal connections and academic and extracurricular engagement. Co-sponsored by the College of Letters & Science and University Housing, CRC blends academic with residential hall life. Students learn as much from each other as from formal academics, so we strive to offer the benefits of a small liberal arts college within our world-class research university.

  • CRC gives first-year students fun and intellectually engaging opportunities to get to know sophomores, juniors, seniors, faculty, staff, and community partners.
  • CRC offers the most small courses and course sections. UW-Madison courses reserved for CRC residents include CRC seminars and special topics, math, Afro-American Studies, chemistry, history, journalism, English, women's studies, political science, sociology, and others.

  • CRC residents have fun and learn from each other, faculty, and staff during our trips to museums, plays and musical events, our inter-floor competitions and formal social dinners, our "What Matters to Me and Why"; series where prominent scholars speak personally about their work, and our monthly social "teas," ski trips, and Common Read programs.
