Special Interest Housing
Special Interest Houses (SIH) offer students the opportunity to create a unique and exciting living experience for themselves. The program provides space for groups of students who share a common goal, set of beliefs or passions to impact the Carnegie Mellon University community through a common living space. SIH is different from the block housing option in that SIH requires a commitment to contribute to the betterment of the campus community. SIH is not only an opportunity for people who are friends to live together; it is an opportunity to bring an individual interest or passion to a larger community. Groups interested in SIH are encouraged to think critically about the impact they hope to make and how living in a common suite or house will facilitate the group's goals.
Examples of past and current SIHs include: Female Athletics, Latina House, Step Up, EMS house, Alpha Kappa Psi and more. SIHs have worked to better the larger community through events like: a gallery of student art work, Homecoming student events, leadership dinners, CPR and first aid training, and various community service activities.
For the academic year 2008-2009 Special Interest Housing is being offered in: Doherty House, Margaret Morrison Apartments, Morewood Gardens, Mudge, Resnik and Shady Oak. More information is available with the application materials.
