Living-Learning Community
Among the most memorable, rewarding, and challenging aspects of the Sustainability Program is living in a tight-knit community alongside fellow students. Even for just one term, living in community takes work. You’ll spend a significant number of hours each week cooking, cleaning, doing house and farm chores, participating in managing transportation to and from campus, and discussing community issues in addition to classes, homework, and other activities. Living in community also takes tolerance, honesty, optimism, and patience. Describe your experiences with communal living, such as summer camp, growing up with siblings, or in your dormitory? What lessons and strategies have you learned that might be helpful? Are there any challenges you anticipate?
