Humphries House Co-op

“Living in the Zu is like being part of a family. A loud, boisterous family that steals your cookies. It's a real home.”

—Nadia Marx '05, Resident Counselor 2004-2005

Humphries House exists as a co-operative environment for community-oriented individuals.

Members work together responsibly to maintain the house, to provide meals, order foods, organize campus and house events collectively.

Students interested in learning more about the Co-Op are encouraged to contact the House President and request an invitation to dinner with current residents.

Note: Please give at least a 24-hour advance request to the House President, who will confirm your invitation for a specific night.
