Welcome to the Co-ops!

Agrarian Effort Co-op · Pierce Co-op · Davis Student Co-op

An alternative to typical student living

Apply at 160 Student Housing

We are three communal houses, located on Regan Hall Circle in the UC Davis campus (maps). Each house of about ten UCD students functions independently, but we also support each other and live together as a community.

Residents have tended to be vegetarian and environmentally aware. While these are not rules, current residents pick their future housemates with the goal of creating a harmonious community.  We have certain goals as a group, formulated into our Vision Statement.

Our tri-co-op projects include the large garden behind Agrarian Effort and smaller garden next to Davis Student, which help reduce reliance on outside food sources; as well as the Summer 2002 installation of a photovoltaic solar power array, which substantially reduces our reliance on outside energy sources.

Students interested in living in the co-ops should begin by filling out an application, available at 160 Student Housing. Then get in touch with the house(s) of interest. (hint: be persistent!) Generally the houses have potluck dinners during which applicants and residents get to know each other. We also get acquainted by just hanging out at the houses. Check with individual houses on how they prefer to handle the applicant process.

Don't forget to also check out our friends the Domes, a unique example of an on-campus cooperative residential area.
