Returning students have the option of living in college-owned houses on the periphery of campus (Loomis Street, Park Avenue, and N. Main Street) for Special Interest Housing, where students are able to explore their curricular and co-curricular interests while living with students with similar goals. These houses vary in size from 2-9 students, and may be free standing, duplexes, or triplexes. Bedrooms within the houses contain the standard bedroom furniture (desk, chair, dresser(s), closet/wardrobe, and bed). Additional furniture varies by the house.
The houses are a living option that allows students to experience more independence and responsibility. While the College maintains the properties, students are responsible for taking out their own garbage/recycling, day-to day cleaning and purchasing of products, shoveling of stairs/paths (shovels and salt provided by Physical Plant), and living within a neighborhood community. While there is limited parking at the house, if the number of occupants with cars exceeds the number of spaces available, students should plan to park in on-campus overflow lots.
