Living in Community
(TEST PAGE ONLY)
We dream of a space where students can grow in community through common living. This growth comes from shared responsibility, experiences, and development through community covenants, visioning, and cooperation. What if everyone thought of others before themselves? This radical community living style is often reserved for camps and monasteries. Imagine a university experience of compassion, care, and wondering. Living in community will serve you for the rest of your life and will benefit the worlds you live into.
