Want to join us? Here's how.
Incoming Students
For incoming students, the first step is to list Shepard 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.
