Rates vary depending on room size; L, XL,and XXL rooms can be signed as doubles.
Dinner Served: We serve meals Sunday thru Thursday (at 7pm) during the school year. (We don't usually provide meals during the spring and summer months.) These meals are always wholesome and nutritious and there is always a vegetarian option. If you're curious stop in for a meal and see for yourself. There is also plenty of guff food during the Fall/Winter terms ranging from cookies to fruits and veggies.
Smoking allowed: No smoking allowed in the house. Smoking is permitted, however, on our roof or porch.
Amenities: We have a number of things for entertainment including a foosball table, piano, and a TV complete with DVD and VCR player. We always have cable during the school year. All members are provided with access to wireless DSL. We also have two public computers for all house members to use, as well as a networked printer. We have two washers and dryers onsite, you only need to provide the soap. Our house is also handicap accessible!
Required Work: Every member is expected to put in a small amount of work each week. This is usually about 4 hours, but varies depending on how many members we have. Also there is always one work holiday per semester where we do major projects like painting.
