Want to join us? Here's how.
Incoming Students
For incoming students, the first step is to list Shepard (South Mid-Quads Hall, NOT Shepard Hall!) as one of your top housing choices. At the end of your housing application, there will be a section of short-answer questions that you must answer if you are applying to any residential college, including Shepard.
Don't be intimidated by the questions! This is not a college application, so don't feel like you have to pour your soul out in under 100 words. Write a different answer for each of the residential colleges you're applying to.

Current Students
For current undergraduate students at Northwestern, you can join Shepard RC by becoming a non-resident member ("non-res"). By joining Shepard as a non-res, you will join a community of diverse, friendly students whom you can meet through events like firesides, munchies, and midnight ultimate frisbee. You also get a key that lets you into the building.
Maintaining a non-res status requires annual payment of dues, which are $40 for a whole academic year. That's much less than what residents pay per quarter.
