Description

Laurel House is a student-run coed community that offers a unique living experience. Laurel focuses on fostering an inclusive and supportive environment.  The members of Laurel House strive to build a close-knit, diverse community and where members can thrive. Residents come together and plan a range of activities and events, such as musical performances, parties, and educational workshops. The house has shared common areas where residents can gather to socialize or study. The main attraction is the large courtyard, which contains a basketball court, fireplace, outdoor seating, and a student-run garden.

House Labor
Our co-op is member-run, and much like other housing co-ops, each member performs a few hours of labor every week, to foster a clean and comfortable living environment. Members sign up for labor at the beginning of each semester, and Labor is assigned according to your semester schedule. Labor assignments take into account your academic schedule, work schedules, and personal preferences.

Meals
Included in your monthly rent is a meal plan. Laurel House typically serves 17 meals per week. Typically, these are breakfast, lunch and dinner during the weekdays. Saturday brunch and Sunday dinner. Breakfast is self-serve. Lunches can be cold (example: sandwiches, wraps, etc) or cooked. Dinner is typically a cooked meal.
