On-campus undergraduate students at the University of Chicago participate in a [[house system]] in which each student is assigned to one of the university's seven [[residence hall]] buildings and to a smaller community within their residence hall called a "house". There are 39 houses, with an average of 70 students in each house.<ref name="collegehousing">{{cite web|url=http://housing.uchicago.edu/houses_houses/|title=Houses and Halls|publisher=The University of Chicago|access-date=September 14, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160922050142/http://housing.uchicago.edu/houses_houses/|archive-date=September 22, 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref> The houses are named after former professors and other historical figures in the university community, such as [[Eugene Fama]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-09-11 |title=University announces names for seven new College residential houses {{!}} University of Chicago News |url=https://news.uchicago.edu/story/university-announces-names-seven-new-college-residential-houses |access-date=2025-05-14 |website=news.uchicago.edu |language=en}}</ref>
