Cook College has three modern and attractive residence halls, which
together house approximately 600 students. First-year students are
housed in these halls whenever possible because of the advantages that
residence hall living offers to students new to the campus. Each hall
is staffed by a professional resident director and student resident and
safety assistants, all of whom are available on a regular basis. The
staff organizes hall events, handles problems, maintains study hours,
and answers any questions the residents might have.
The
college also has two large apartment complexes, totaling approximately
320 units, that provide housing for most of Cook's upper-class
students, who enjoy the mixture of independence and practical
responsibilities that apartment living entails. Professional resident
directors and student resident assistants also live throughout the
apartment area and generally are available to help coordinate social
functions, provide counseling, or deal with residents' housing
problems.
In addition, 38 male and female students live and
work together at Cook's cooperative living unit, Helyar House, a small,
modern residence hall where students can reduce college expenses by
helping with maintenance, ordering supplies, and preparing meals.
Residents of Helyar House are selected with preference given for
financial need.
