For the Fall and Spring semesters, there are 17 houses where the cost includes all your meals and so much more. Every house offers a variety of anemities. Check out the descriptions of each house to learn more.

One of the best aspects of living in a cooperative room and board house is the rich and vibrant community (the food being a close second).  Eating dinner together, sharing common spaces, and working together to run the house democratically connects people and builds a sense of community.  You will gain an understanding of teamwork that will help you succeed in life.  You’ll make friends that will become more than friends-they’ll become your surrogate family.

Since the houses are managed through the efforts of the members who live there, each house reflects the values and lifestyle choices of its residents.  Some houses are smaller and quieter, and some are bigger and more boisterous.  The members of each house vote every semester on which residents will fulfill the various management roles, giving every member the opportunity for both employment and leadership experience.

As a new member, you should expect to share a room, except in our two graduate/re-entry student houses (Convent and Hillegass/Parker). The good news is: you will get to pick your roommate in a process called room bids.
