The Math and Science House is intended as part of a learning community for mathematics and science majors.
On the academic side, residents in this house are provided with in-house tutoring and academic advising. In addition, residents support each other, often having common courses. This combination of living with like-minded students, receiving academic support, and taking courses as a cohort helps students be successful in what can be a very challenging first year.
Of course, communities grow around more than a shared academic interest – residents in the house share meals, come together for activities and form lasting friendships.
