WHAT IS CRC?
The Communications Residential College, or CRC, at Northwestern University is the perfect community for students interested in writing, photography, visual and audial media, and more!
Because of this, CRC has a large proportion of students with interests in media and communication. Our most popular majors are journalism, radio/television/film (RTVF), theater, and communications studies. Students of all academic disciplines and backgrounds are welcome and thrive in our accepting and outgoing community!
The Communications Residential College exists to foster an environment promoting the study and collective understanding of communication in all its myriad forms, be it words, images or sound.

Big Screening room
Located off the main lounge, the screening room has an HD projector and a fifteen-foot wall screen, and is outfitted with sofas and chairs to make it one of the best places on campus for a medium-sized group to watch films or play very large Mario Kart.
Radio Room
The Radio Room, exclusively managed by the Tech Chair, is perhaps one of the most mysterious of CRC's open-to-all facilities. Every year, the Radio Room is the center of life for Radiothon, CRC's annual 50-hour radio broadcast fundraiser
Lounges
Lounges are open to all members of CRC, and people often spend time hanging out in each other's lounges. The lounges often end up as the center of social interaction and exam reviews during the course of the academic year, by offering a smaller community within the larger social group of CRC.
