Why Ayers?


Ayers CCI is a great place to live and form a community on campus. Not only are we the largest residential college on North Campus, but we also have unparalleled professional development opportunities ranging from unique Firesides with business professionals to Resume Workshops in partnership with NCA (Northwestern Career Advancement). Students of all majors have the chance to learn financial and economic basics, preparing them for success in any career. With so many chances for growth, we would be remiss if we didn’t mention our others events, such as CCI Formal, Field Day, Munchies, and more! Whether you’re having fun with friends, preparing for life after college, or both at the same time, do it here at Ayers CCI!

Past residents love ACCI because of…

The Location
Ayers is located in a prime spot on Campus. It's only a 2 minute walk from SPAC (the largest gym on campus), Lisa’s Cafe (perfect for late-night study breaks), North Beach, and the Kemper package center! It's about a 5 minute walk from both the Sarge and Elder dining halls (the only ones on North Campus), and about a 6 minute walk from Tech!


The Facilities
Unlike other res colleges, we have a bike room where residents can store their bikes free of charge; large lounge spaces for socializing with other residents and guests, study rooms, TVs, and printers (so you don’t need to spend money at the Area Desk). Our rooms are some of the largest for freshmen at Northwestern ( plus beds can be lofted and all furniture moved around)!

The COMMUNITY
 Whether you are looking for other residents with common interests, shared extracurriculars, or someone to grab a late-night snack at Lisa’s with, the friends you make here can last a lifetime.
