Picture This!

The architects wanted a U, but funds ran out, so East Campus comprises two stately parallels that by extension meet somewhere out there in the infinite. The place is a citadel of living and learning, shaped by tradition and human hand and mind.

Ten halls – five in the west parallel and five in the east, some three dozen students to a hall – each with a unique culture and its own murals. Worn by time, East Campus turns physical limitation into cosmic virtue.

In the spacious, well-equipped kitchens on every hall, you can learn how to make perfect rice or use a sauté pan to help prepare a Thanksgiving feast for fifty. Or you can whip up a tasty, nutritious, low-cost meal from a recipe shared with a friend.

East Campus residents challenge one another in an atmosphere of mutual support. Wander into the leafy (or snowy) courtyard, and you can learn to use a power drill, build a roller coaster or construct a stage for a music festival; back in your room, you use your newly-acquired skills – and the lumber from the roller coaster that was – to assemble your own loft.

House Manager Joe Graham keeps the buildings safe and strong, vibrant and vital. Each hall has a graduate resident tutor, who helps to sustain body and soul with hall feeds, support, and advice. And the Housemasters – Tom and Kate Delaney and Carol Matzusaki and Katy Quinn – count themselves lucky to call East Campus home.

Together – students, tutors, staff and housemasters – we extend a hearty welcome to East Campus!
