21st St. Coop

i lived here for a little over a year. i wasnt there very much, working/school. it was a great group of people, and there was always something to do. i loved it.

I lived at the Taos Co-op in the early nineties and actually worked for College Houses for a year, back in the early nineties. I can’t begin to imagine how different life would be without it…far more dull, that’s for sure!

I lived at 21st Street Co-op for over a year. In fact, I met my first husband and the father of my first-born son there. It’s a great place to live, and has accomodations to match the needs of any kind of student, from the serious to the serious party-hound. I was a loud-suite-liver, because as musician and therefore late-night person, I was automatically in the loud suite, regardless of my study habits. And that was fine.

I can’t recommend it highly enough. For yourself or your kids. Go. Live. Enjoy.

to live or hostel or have friends here is fantabulous. to come not knowing anyone can be….......well, that’s up to you. if you can handle a raging party where you have to fight for the beer and the cops like to come early and you can dodge them and wait for most of the crowd to clear out and then start drinking again when the kegs come back out and have a better chance with the girls/guys and maybe even make your way into a suite, then this is the place for you. if you are an anti-social, lameass loser who only goes to parties to make fun of everyone and drink the free beer w/o putting money in the donation jar, then piss off. oh, did i mention that the 21st co-op rules?

we’ve lived there actually. it’s a great environment to meet new people, for personal exploration, and they throw a great party. and if you are in school, it’s much better than living in a dorm, considering you run the place and make the rules, collectively. also nonprofit. if you are ever in austin during the summer, you can hostel for around $15 a night with food and internet included. www.collegehouses.coop
