Energetic and exciting, welcoming community, fun traditions, home away from home are just some of the ways students describe living in the houses of the West Quad. Come bond in the spacious living rooms of where weekly teas and hearth nights are held. Do homework and work on projects in comfortable study spaces and then take a break with a game or your favorite tv program in our cozy common areas. Celebrate Quad traditions such as Quadstock, QuadiGras, Celebrations and Quad Halloween with fellow housemates and Quadies. While the houses of the West Quad are large in size they are dedicated to creating an atmosphere that fosters community and a happy and healthy living experience. |
