Sharing A Hobby, Faith, or Mission With Your Roommates

The 11 upperclass students who live in Music and Arts House came together last spring to create a space for artists to collaborate and share their work with the greater Haverford community. Their home was one of five community houses to have its application approved by the Residential Life Committee. They now serve the campus with programming and events.
