What is McTyeire? It is a living-learning center with 90 single rooms. Its top-priority is to promote and foster the use of foreign languages and the awareness of different cultures. Many of the students are preparing to study abroad or have just returned from programs like Vanderbilt-in-France. Living in McTyeire is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to improve your linguistic skills in an atmosphere conducive to learning and communication. You can also get to know students on the other language halls -- Chinese, German, Japanese, Russian, and Spanish.
