Life at Alma

Home is where the plaid is

At Alma, college life goes beyond academics to enrich your experience. It means fully engaging with our vibrant campus that offers opportunities for personal growth, community engagement, and unforgettable memories. Whether you’re catching up over coffee, relaxing in your residence hall, or joining clubs, you’ll find a community that celebrates you.

Living on campus

As a residential college, Alma is where you’ll live and learn — and you’ll find it will quickly feel like home. Our campus is a friendly, welcoming place. You’ll build connections through your classes and extracurricular activities, but your closest friends may very well become the people you live with in Alma’s residence halls or themed housing options.

Plaid proud

Life as a Scot means that no matter which activities you choose to get involved with, each one will help you explore new ideas and interests. You will lead, laugh, and yes, even learn. Isn’t that what college is all about?
