What Members Say About Pearl Street Co-op
"Pearl is one of the best places to live on West Campus. No predatory landlords, no spiking rent, a consistent dormitory experience with a thriving community. Cooperative living has its ups and downs, but at the end of the day, you have the power to change the space around you. Instead of waiting months on a landlord, you can work with the office directly and work cooperatively with other members of the house."
