Congratulations Class of 2029!
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 Fellows Barbecue, the end-of-quarter Coffeehouse, and the Shepard 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.

Check out the Welcome Letter from our President
Hi there, Class of 2029!
My name is Tallulah, and I’m the current president of Shepard Residential College, aka South Mid-Quads! On behalf of all of Shepard Exec, I’d like to heartily welcome you to SMQ.
At Shepard, our goal is to foster a tight-knit community that you can fall back on while you begin to make friends and connections at college. Shepard is a multi-thematic residential college, which means that from your first day on campus, you'll be interacting with students and faculty from a wide variety of disciplines with a diverse range of interests (we’ve got everyone from engineers to theatre kids)! As a residential college, we host regular variety events that you can attend to build relationships with other residents, have fun, and most importantly, get free food! (We happen to be home to some of the best chefs and bakers on campus – so whether you like to make food, want to learn, or just like eating homemade goodies, you’ll have a great time in our famously well-stocked kitchen.
We are located in South Mid-Quads (655 University Place, aka NOT Shepard Hall), which is home to just under seventy-five residents. We also have numerous non-resident members, who are members of Shepard Residential College but live outside of SMQ. Together, we make up a close-knit community that provides plenty of opportunities to develop friendships with fellow “Sheep” (that’s how we refer to ourselves in honor of our mascot, the sheep). Truly, nothing beats getting home at the end of a long day and being welcomed by all your friends hanging out in the common area watching a movie, cooking up a sweet treat, playing video games, competing in a game of ping pong/pool, getting some work done, or just chilling.
We’re run by an exec board that you can turn to if you have any questions, or just wanna talk! The executive board consists of a President, Treasurer, Communications Chair, Social Chairs, Academic Chairs, and an Outreach Chair. You can click on the “People” tab to learn a bit more about us and find contact info, or head to our Instagram page, @shepardrescollege!
So hyped to meet you all soon! In the meantime, please join our Discord Server: https://discord.gg/V3xcVvqJR9
Best,
Shepard Residential College Exec 🐑🐑🐑
