Want to learn more about art, theatre, or music? Act on your concern about the care and feeding of the planet? Reaffirm or explore an ethnic or cultural identity? 

Program Houses are themed living and learning communities that offer the chance to develop these interests with other like-minded students while experiencing the full breadth of the Cornell residential experience. 

Program Houses are open to all students, with the exception of The Language House (a part of Alice Cook House), which is open to upperlevel and transfer students only. 

Program House residents pay a nominal activities fee to help support the many programs that define and distinguish each house. Visit Undergraduate Housing Rates for 2009-2010 activities fees.
