. i workin working TOGETHER By Han-Ching Lin From the wealth of housing options University students had to choose from, co-operatives were a popu- lar choice for undergraduate and graduate students alike. One apartment house and 18 group houses were all run by the residents. Chandrashekar Shankar, a Ph.D. stu- dent in material science and a member of the Sojourner Truth House, lived among one of the most diverse groups of people. There were people from many different back- grounds and countries, studying across all disciplines. Cooperative living presented many advantages, including affordable prices on housing as well as free meals, parking, and laundry. For many, the most attractive aspect was the close community life. It felt like one big family, with people looking out for each other and someone to come home to all the time, said Samantha Samarasinha, an anthropology junior living in Muriel Lester Co-operative. The amount of interaction that you have with people depends on the co-op you choose. Some are like dorms, where you live more individ- ually. Others, like Lester, are like a family, where you have a lot of interaction with people in your house everyday. I chose the co-ops because of the low expense, said Tim Harter, a School of Information graduate student. For around $425, you can live in a comfortable room, with free meals. It was actually a lot like the dorms. I lived with 19 other people, so it was important to be mindful of keep- ing clean and cooperating. The only things that I didn ' t like were the maintenance costs. We were liable for all damages. Co-ops provided a rich variety of social events for its members. One of the great things is how easy it is to make friends with the people you live with, said Shankar. We have campfires, watch television together, and cook together. Sometimes, we just talk. A couple times a year, co-ops throw parties, where we invite other co-ops. Other social events included formats, special dinners, and dances. Of course, co-ops were not perfect for everyone. Sometimes, although we ' re all supposed to do our share of work, it ' s difficult to give equally, said Samarasinha. However, for the most part, members of co-ops put in an earnest effort to create a smoothly operating, warm community, making the experience truly cooperative. Spirit of cooperation guides co-op residents HOUSING 295
