Student Housing on Campus: THE HIVE
Please remember that Earthships are a relatively new concept, and student housing is an example of each experiment along the way.
Student housing building is older and imperfect, but an excellent opportunity for individuals to understand design considerations. Troubleshooting and an open mind are required to learn this unique way of living. Our staff is always happy to address concerns and teach you about our unique systems.
Each room rental requires a $100 refundable cleaning deposit. Cleaning deposits are returned 1-3 weeks after check-out, pending the cleanliness of the room. Cleaning deposits are returned via Venmo, Paypal, or a check in the mail.
