...pursuit of community led Jody S. Morita ’06-’07 to transfer to the Dudley Co-op. Morita, who graduated from Deep Springs in 2003, lived in Quincy House for one semester but promptly put himself on the wait list for the alternative residential option. He was admitted in his second semester. The Dudley Co-op, with its communal meals and intimate style of living, has proved a welcoming home for a number of Deep Spring alums over the years. Alex J.

The Co-op is set up on a points system, so that residents must fulfill a certain amount of points every two weeks by signing up to do chores like preparing...
Although Dudley should not receive as much UC funding as the other houses, it is certainly free to spend its allocation however it chooses. It has proposed hosting block parties in order to improve relations between Co-op residents and their neighbors (who are not Harvard affiliates). Money received by HoCos should be used to build House community, and if Dudley’s conception of House community is neighborhood community, that’s fine.
