Gutenberg College's Residence
Program is accepting applications for the 2026-2027
school year (with limited availability for the remainder
of the 2025-2026 school year).
Did you know that the Residence Program is older than
the college? Begun as part of McKenzie Study Center
in the 1980s, the Residence Program is designed as a
proactively supportive environment for those in pursuit
of truth, personal responsibility, and the development of
compassion for others.
While most of our residents are now Gutenberg
students, we also welcome other young adults
interested in being part of a community—living,
working, studying, and sharing meals with fellow
residents—while pursuing his or her academic
education or work.
