Living in Prescott
As you may all know we do not have dorms on campus. Instead we live in studios, apartments, houses that room up to eight people and some even live out of a tent in a backyard. This can be nerve racking for some who this is their first time away from home. NO worries, there are staff and students that will make this as easy as eating a slice of chocolate cake, mmmmmmm. You can go to our website , click on student life and then housing. Here you will find all of our housing and then click on general housing. This will bring you to a list where students are looking for housemates and land lords are seeking renters.
I live on a dusty, washboard, dirt road two blocks from campus. This is an ideal location because it's so close to school and there are footpaths to the center of town. The beautiful thing about living in Prescott is you can go everywhere on foot or by riding you bike. FYI there are a lot of awesome thrift stores and pawn shop to pick up bikes, beds, and clothes. I recommend that anyone who comes must go to the DAV. Anyhoo, i live with 6 other people in our little blue house, the neighbors are great too. Our back yard includes a fire pit, large couch, rope swing, clothes line, compost pile and we are currently working on a garden and constructing a rock climbing wall.
Now for the food. We don't have 3 huge dining halls like your typical college but we do have something better. We have the Crossroads Center Cafe with a beautiful brick patio. The food is delicious organic and comes from local farmers, They are currently working on a food card where you have a certain amount, works like a debit card. They also offer meals for vegetarians and vegans. The other option is the CSA- community supported agriculture. You can purchase a winter share which begins in Oct. and goes through May. You go to the crossroads center cafe where they will have a table set up each week, the produce will vary each week. Some things they have are melons, sprouts, canyon grapes and there is a meat option. You get a huge bag of organic goodies and it's enough for a household of 4. There are three local health food stores and at least three grocery stores. Some have discount for students too.
