Ayers College of Commerce and Industry (CCI) is a residential college at Northwestern University, located next to the Henry Crown Sports Pavilion and Aquatic Center (SPAC) and just off of Lake Michigan. Built in 1991, it is divided into 4 floors, 3 of which are co-ed. CCI holds an annual Business Symposium, bringing together many leaders in business-related fields with students to discuss various issues.

East Fairchild's focus is mass media, attracting students interested in film, television, radio and journalism. Informal lectures, known as firesides, presented throughout the year often feature journalists and filmmakers.

CRC was built in 1981 as part of the $23 million South Campus project, which included the construction of 1835 Hinman and other residence halls. A $2 million gift from the Sherman Fairchild Foundation of Chevy Chase, Maryland, helped provide equipment and finance other expenses for the residential college. CRC's equipment includes a radio station, WXRU 640 AM, as well as two movie screening rooms.

In 1987, a beloved and talented CRC resident named Will Arnold died in his sleep due to an arrhythmia. Will had been the college's equipment chair, and a fundraiser was inaugurated in his honor, with half the proceeds going to the American Heart Association and half for CRC equipment and events. The fundraiser is called Radiothon. It spans 50 hours of student-run radio shows. Events include a date auction, drag show, and a goods auction, with items and gift certificates donated by area merchants. Another event is a show called "That's Stupid." Residents encourage their floor mates to charge a certain amount of money to perform a particular stunt or performance.

Hobart House is Northwestern University's Women's Residential College, home to 50 undergraduate women.

Hobart House was designed by the architect James Gamble Rogers, using Indiana limestone. It was named in honor of Emily Hatfield Hobart, a Northwestern University alumna who was killed in the civil strife in China in 1928 while serving as a missionary.
