A brief description of the themed housing, including name(s) and descriptions of theme(s):
Earlham offers three housing options for students interested in sustainability: "co-op," Gurney House, and Miller Farm. The co-op dorm is explained by Residence Life as "a community of students who follow the lifestyle of environmentally sound living with the sense of communal responsibility. Students on this floor rely on each other for general upkeep of the floor, meals, and other duties..." Gurney House is an Environmental theme house, whose residents are students with a sustainable living commitment, and work with other student organizations to organize events each semester. Miller Farm is an agriculturally focused intentional living community. Residents of Miller Farm also intentionally live in a sustainable manner, have the responsibility of maintaining the campus gardens and the Farm itself (gardens, chickens, and goats, primarily), and organize agricultural and environmental events for the Earlham and Richmond communities.
