Campus area offers communal living
■ Students have several options
to choose from when moving out
By Mikhael Romain
for the Emerald
As the end of the school year ap
proaches, decisions about where to live
in the fall loom before returning stu
dents. For those still mulling over their
options, the University offers several
communal living choices.
Residence halls
For many students, the residence
halls are their first experience living on
their own, and are an essential part of
the college experience.
“It’s a parent-free zone,” said Faye
Sweeney, a freshman in Spiller Hall. “It’s an
important part of freshman life. I have made
most of my friends through the dorms.”
The residence halls come complete with
a communal television and study lounges,
laundry facilities and a weekly meal plan.
The short walk to class, high-speed Inter
net connection and cable television serv
ice are convenient, but for some, late-night
noise can become an issue.
“I hear people playing their Britney
Spears music at two in the morning, and I
have to tell them to be quiet because I have
an early morning class,” Sweeney said.
University Housing also offers apart
ments or homes for families and graduate
students. Full-time students 21 or older are
eligible to live in any of the five complexes,
including Spencer View, Westmoreland,
Agate and Moon Court apartments, and
Vintage Homes east of campus, with the
East Campus Graduate Village to be ready in
September. Graduate housing comes fully
furnished with parking and Internet access,
as well as child care and community events.
Cooperative living
Cooperative student housing offers
a unique living opportunity where
residents share the house duties of
cooking and cleaning.
“It’s a dynamic environment,” said Ge
off Hoffa, who lived in The Lorax co-op
for six terms. “You come across an array
of ideas and meet a lot of new people.”
The three student co-ops, The Lorax,
Campbell Club and Janet Smith, attract a
diverse range of students. Living eligibility
requires taking three class credits per term,
with residents’ ages ranging from 17-30.
“If you are looking for an alternative to
the frats, dorms or a house, co-ops are a
good transitional place to live,” Hoffa said.
Greek housing
There are 15 fraternity and nine soror
ity houses that provide a distinctive so
cial atmosphere with similar amenities
to the residence halls. Greek houses, lo
cated close to campus, offer an Internet
connection, study lounges and a cook.
“It’s nice to live in a comfort zone,”
said Kristen Hall, a junior in Alpha Phi.
“There’s always something to do, and
people to go anywhere with you and be
with you all the time.”
More information on greek housing is
available on the Greek Life Web site,
www.greeklife.uoregon.edu.
