For students looking to forge close connections around shared interests, Haverford offers special-interest housing choices, such as La Casa Hispánica (for students actively engaged in organizing programs concerned with the cultures and civilizations of the Spanish-speaking world); Cadbury House (for those seeking a quiet study, and alcohol- and drug-free space); and Nerd House (for gaming, tech, fantasy, anime, and science aficionados).

Haverford’s biochemistry program is located at the interface between the biological, chemical, and physical sciences. For our ambitious students and faculty who seek to understand biological processes from physical and chemical points of view, this is an especially exciting place to be.
The 2015 "Biochemistry Superlab" course was the subject of a recent PLOS Biology paper co-authored by all of the class' 16 students and its co-teachers, Professor Rob Fairman (center) and Assistant Professor Lou Charkoudian (third from right). Students from across the sciences take the class—with preference given to biochemistry concentrators—and professors from the Departments of Biology and Chemistry team-teach it, addressing interdisciplinary interests.

Many Haverford students have co-authored papers in scientific journals, but rarely can they credit their humanities studies for the feat. But George O'Hara '18 can. The Russian and chemistry double major is a co-author of a recent PLOS Medicine paper on the HIV epidemic in the Russian Federation, for which his Russian language fluency was a key component.
