“I know there are so many things I never would have had the courage to try without the co.space community telling me to stop being afraid or unsure and just go for it!”

Shelby SeybertAlum, 2015 - 2017

“Being in a house versus a dorm is totally different. In the dorm you can’t knock a wall down; here you can. There’s a lot of freedom at the co.space and that culture is infectious.”

Dustin BetzAlum, 2013 - 2016

“The co.space taught me how important human connection is for my overall happiness, from these lessons I’ve learned to create new meaningful relationships.”

Natalie VercilloAlum, 2015 - 2018

Anushka ThachilAlum, 2019 - 2021

“The co.space made the hard parts of dreams totally normal… so when all the obstacles in your way are normal, it is easier to walk the path towards what you really want.”

Matt McgeeAlum, 2013 - 2015

“I’ve had powerful conversations with people in the house I’ve only known for a few days that I’ve never had with close friends of many years. That’s the magic of co.space!”

Community & Covid-19

In a time when so many crave human connection, we are grateful to be able to provide a safe space for our residents to build community during Covid-19. We have implemented numerous policies to help keep the home healthy, which you can read about in our FAQ. We are dedicated to ensuring the house is not only safe for those who live here, but a place that provides nurturing support as we all navigate the grief, uncertainty, and anxiety during these times. If you have specific questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us and we can address specific concerns you may have.
