Life at EARTH
Housing
Share a room, share your culture! At EARTH, you will likely live with someone from a different country in one of our thirteen gender-specified dorms.
You will have your own bed, a small bedside table, a desk, and a closet to store your belongings.
Each residence has shared bathrooms and multi-purpose common areas.
The dorms are close to everything you need: the cafeteria, classrooms, library, and laundry facilities.
