Hello from the coop! We have open spaces available in our house right next to campus. This 273 sq. ft. double occupancy room is a spacious spot on the third floor! The unique shape adds an extra east-facing window, letting in lots of light. It has great access to the third floor bathroom and both stairways. Living in a double means that, when the house is at full capacity, you will have a roommate. This lowers the cost of the room and provides a unique social experience. Many coopers prefer roommates. Be sure to speak with the Orientation Manager - it is their job to pair you with a compatible roommate. This is a co-operative building which requires agreement and adherence to the policies, by-laws and co-op principles. We are currently accepting applications from students and nonstudents. 3 bathrooms are shared between 18 units. Functioning as a dormitory-type bathroom which contains private shower/toilet areas from the sinks. Your unit will be either a single, double or triple (see image to help decide). Video room tours available on request. Requests may be denied for the privacy of current residents.
