Brown House:

We are very pleased to announce that we will be making an official connection between our newly established Center for Faith, Justice and Global Engagement and Brown House in the 2012-2013 academic year. Residents of Brown House will partner with the Center by:

1. Helping to put on the annual Faith and Justice Symposium and hosting a related campus discussion and

2. Working with Intercultural Studies faculty member Dr. Ndunge Kiiti to develop a partnership plan that supports initiatives of the Center throughout the year.
The house is open to students who will be Juniors or Seniors during the 2013-2014 academic year. Students who are interested in applying to live in Brown House must fill out the application that can be found online at this link: Townhouse/Brown House Application Applicants must also submit a two-page statement that outlines the group’s interest in working with the Center and specifies the areas of Faith, Justice and Global Engagement that the group desires to explore while living in Brown House. Applications are due by February 22 at 5:00pm. Please feel free to contact housing@houghton.edu if you have any questions.

Community Living Option:

An off campus housing privilege within the hamlet of Houghton and some surrounding areas; approved students are responsible for securing their own rental contracts. Students living in a CLO are still expected to abide by the Statement of Community Responsibilities and Community Covenant. Some other rules/restrictions apply for those who are approved and can be explained in the Office of Student Life. Applications can be found online (Community Living Option Application) and are due by Friday, February 8 at 5:00pm

College Townhouses:

On campus living facilities offered to students of Junior or Senior status. College Townhouses hold up to eight residents. Groups applying with seven residents will only be considered once full applications have been approved. Units available for male residents are Randal and Hazlett, those available for female residents are Leonard Houghton and Perkins. Applications must be filled out by each townhouse group member: Townhouse/Brown House Application and are due to the Residence Life and Housing Office by Friday, February 22 at 5:00pm.

All of the above housing options require students to be of Junior or Senior status (holding 60 credits or more). CLOs as well as Townhouse groups are determined based on average credit hours completed as of December 2012.
