The Residential Experience, or ResX, is a set of strategies intentionally designed to help promote four core components of student development: academic responsibility, community responsibility, social justice responsibility and personal responsibility. Our Educational Priority states: Through one’s journey as a Buff, students will develop their commitment to learning and personal responsibility to be globally conscious members of their CU community and the greater world.

Our Vision

At 91¸£ÀûÉç, students receive an academic experience that connects and spans beyond the classroom. This experience exists whether a student lives in a traditional residence hall, apartment, off campus or within graduate housing.
