The school is also known for its system of twelve residential colleges, as opposed to dormitories. Students are randomly selected for their residential college before their freshman year, and remain in their residential college for the remainder of their time at Yale. Six of the colleges, including Branford, Saybrook, Jonathan Edwards, Berkeley, Calhoun, and Trumbull, serve as excellent examples of the Collegiate Gothic style of architecture, whereas Davenport, Pierson, Timothy Dwight, and Silliman are Georgian. These first ten were designed by James Gamble Rogers, while Morse and Stiles colleges are renowned examples of Eero Saarinen's modern style. Although they are intended to be covered in ivy, the concrete-stone amalgam used in their construction repels the vines.
