To live at the coop, you must complete and submit an application. Applications are voted on by all current members of the coop and the average score is then compared to other applications. The applicant with the highest score is offered the next space available. Because we operate on a month to month lease basis, we generally do not know about openings more than a month in advance. However, applicants are encouraged to turn in applications well in advance of their desired move in date.
Questions?
The coop has a recruitment manager who will field any questions that you might have. You can contact the recruitment manager through email at studentscoop@gmail.com. Also, feel free to post a question in the Prospective Co-opers section of our forum.
