Campus Life

A community built at human scale

Merinan sits in a walkable neighborhood of bookshops, bakeries, and lake paths — with a campus that stays busy long after the last lecture.

Nine residential houses with resident faculty, house tables, and traditions older than the football team.

Dining

Three dining commons, 18 cafés, and a student-run cooperative kitchen.

Athletics & recreation

27 varsity teams, 40 club sports, and an aquatics center open to all.

Arts & culture

A 1,100-seat concert hall, two galleries, and a student theatre with nine productions a year.

Health & wellness

On-campus clinic, counseling with no session cap, and peer support networks.
