The Residential College at West Ambler Johnston now accepting applications.

The RC@WAJ is open to all students regardless of major, year, or honors status—so all Virginia Tech Students are eligible to apply. The key criterion for application is a commitment to be involved in a dynamic community that emphasizes student engagement, academic success, and a high level dedication to being a good citizen. Freshmen admitted must make a two-year residential commitment. Sophomores, juniors, seniors, and graduate students make a year to year commitment. Note: For current students this process is outside of the Housing Application (Housing Lottery) Process. If you are offered a space in the residential college (and accept the offer) you are guaranteed housing!   Read More   Apply
