Residential Life:
Ripon College offers its instructional facilities within a total social and residential environment. Attending this institution is a complete living situation in which all may participate. For this reason, all students except those who are married or who are living with their immediate families in the Ripon area, are required to live in the College residence halls. In this way, Ripon College strives to be a true "community of scholars" in the best sense of those words.

Currently, 91 percent of the students live on campus. There are nine residence halls on campus offering a variety of living options. Typically, first-year students are housed together within groups of fewer than 20. First-year students who pledge fraternities and sororities continue to live in their halls until their sophomore year when they move into upperclass living areas.

All residence hall rooms are furnished with beds, desk, desk chairs, dressers, cable TV hook-up, internet access and voicemail.
