Hello from the coop! We have open spaces available in our house right next to campus. This 280 sq. ft. room is the house's only triple! There is plenty of space in this uniquely shaped room that occupies the southwest corner of the second floor. It has large south-facing windows overlooking University Avenue. Living in a triple means that, when the house is at full capacity, you will have two roommates. 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.
