By ORL policy there must be at least 8 students interested in living at La Casa for the house to remain open during summer. Please contact LivingLearning@Dartmouth.edu to express interest.

There are 7 rooms with space for 10 students: 2 singles (1 for the UGA), 4 one-room doubles, and the faculty apartment. There are also three bathrooms (one on each floor), the library, the living room, the dining room, the kitchen, the porch, and the basement.

Room arrangement is decided by the live-in faculty advisor based on gender distribution, seniority in La Casa, and housing accommodations. There are two singles available for students and one is for the UGA. When you are accepted into La Casa, you also need to accept the possibility of sharing a room, which can be a very useful learning and social experience.

Yes! Many people live in La Casa even though their major is not Spanish/Portuguese. Many people use their time at La Casa to improve their Spanish/Portuguese when they don't have time in their schedule to take a class. However, students whose major/minor is Spanish/Portuguese will receive preference in the selection process.

Sorry, but no. By ORL policy, only upperclassmen are allowed to live in La Casa. But please visit us and apply next year!

Yes. La Casa welcomes residents who are both native speakers and non-native speakers. If you want the opportunity to speak Spanish or Portuguese on a regular basis, then consider living at La Casa!

It's possible, but in the selection process, students who are enrolled in classes will receive priority. The application process for the student, however, is the same. Contact the Office of Residential Life for more information.

Sorry, but no. ORL does not permit non-undergraduates to live in La Casa. But we would love for you to visit us and attend our events!

Yes, but your application receives less priority than those submitted on time, and it is possible that La Casa is already full.
