Congratulations Class of 2028!
Your Northwestern experience begins soon, and this is the perfect time to start thinking about housing your first year on campus! One of the best ways to connect with other new students on campus is by joining a residential college, like Shepard. We'd love for you to join our community of Sheeple! Click the button below to learn more!
Both an entertaining hub for social activities and a quiet place for study, Shepard aims to be comfortable for everybody. Typically housing 75 residents, Shepard’s dorms in South Mid Quads are located on South Campus in the Southwest Area of Northwestern. As a multi-thematic residential college, Shepard's residents possess a myriad of majors, minors, and interests—connecting engineers with music composers, coders with filmmakers, and everyone in between. Each week, the Sheep (a loving name given to Shepard residents) are supplied with a slew of social events, such as Munchies, Game Nights, Movie Nights, and Firesides. Among Shepard’s most popular events are the Woo-Shep Olympics against their rival (Willard), the end-of-quarter Coffeehouse, and the Spring Formal. In addition to fostering a friendly environment, Shepard provides a place for students to interact with faculty members from various disciplines. In fact, Shepard has more fellows than any other Residential College! Lastly, every fall, Shepard offers amazing guidance for the Lambs (first-years) as they begin their new lives as Northwestern students.

Hello Class of 2028!!!
Welcome to Shepard Residential College :) We’re so excited to have you living here nextyear! At Shepard, our goal is to make a tight knit community that you can fall back on while youbegin to make friends and Northwestern connections. As a Res College, we will host events regularly that you can choose to attend in order to build relationships with those in your class, others in the dorm, and especially those serving on Exec!!! Shepard is a multi-thematic residential college, which means that from your first day oncampus you'll be interacting with students and faculty from a wide variety of disciplines with adiverse range of interests. We are located in South Mid Quads, which is home to about 75 residents. The students elected to have a Shepard mascot – which is a sheep, and the Shepardexec will refer to the residents as “Sheep.” As a smaller residential college, we're a close community that provides plenty of opportunities to get to know and develop friendships with fellow Sheep. Shepard is run by an exec board whom you should turn to if you have any questions or just want to talk to a friend. The executive board consists of a President, Communications Chair,Treasurer, Social Chair, Academic Chairs, and an Outreach Chair . You can find more information about us as individuals on the website . All of us are available to assist as needed, provide sagely advice, or crush you in a game of pool. Our majors span a variety of schools and subjects and we’ve taken enough classes to have advice on most things. We also can recommend people to get in touch with, especially when it comes to faculty associated with Shepard!! We will try to make your time at Shepard the best it can be and make it your home for however long you choose to live here and after! All of us have chosen to live in Shepard for a variety of reasons but have found friends ineach person we’ve met. After living in SMQ for a year, we’ve all agreed there’s nowhere we’d rather live on campus! We’ve become friends with our fellows and have received all sorts of advice on life, social, and academic problems and decisions. Congratulations for making it to Northwestern and we’re so excited to help you begin your journey here!!!
