GAMMA ALPHA

Gamma Alpha is a co-ed residential house of graduate students, from
various countries around the world and various divisions/disciplines
across the Chicago-area Universities. We strive to create a supportive
atmosphere, conducive to completion of grad school. To be eligible to
live in GA, you must be a graduate student, anywhere in Chicagoland.

Our house is a historic, three-story brick mansion across the street
from the University of Chicago Regenstein Library. Residents live in
individual rooms, sharing bathrooms and common spaces; residents also
have individual fridge, freezer, and pantry spaces. Our kitchen is
fully equipped. We share appliances and cookware, but cook and
purchase our food separately.

Rent is between $200 and $300. Washer/dryer, internet, utilities, and
laundry supplies are included. We have a back yard, living room,
kitchen, 2 dining rooms, TV room, bike room, and workshop. Residents
follow a chore schedule, and are required to spend a few hours a month
on general house maintenance.
