Our social, educational, and residential programming is committed to supporting your academic success and to help you connect with your peers.

Founders Hall

Founders Hall is CCA's newest residence hall. This residence features both private and shared units, spacious multi-use common areas, and the ground floor dining facility, Makers Cafe, where students can use their meal plan.

Benefits of living on campus

  1. Convenience: By residing on campus, students enjoy easy access to academic buildings, resources, and studios.
  2. Academic Success: With access to support services, libraries, and collaborative spaces just steps away from their residence, on-campus residents often achieve higher grades and are more likely to persist and graduate.
  3. Community Building: Whether through organized events, shared living spaces, or spontaneous interactions, the residential environment cultivates friendships, support networks, and opportunities for collaboration and creativity

Research consistently demonstrates that students who live on campus have higher rates of retention and graduation than students who live off campus.

Assignments

Students may request a roommate of their choice at the time of applying. Your roommate preferences will be collected in advance, in preparation for double occupancy to be allowed.

Family Housing

CCA does not offer on campus family housing. If you are new to the area and seeking resources for off campus family housing please email us for tips.
