All resident applicants schedule an interview with the chaplain and residents regarding life at St. Francis House. Applications are simply applications, not reservations for living space based on which applications are received first. Applicants also sign a Covenant of Committment to make clear the responsibilities of living here. St. Francis House strives to achieve a balance between International and U.S. students, so that all participants share in a learning experience. The comfortable capacity of St. Francis House is 12 residents.
Rooms are spacious compared to dorm rooms.
Seven to eight residents live on the ground floor and share two bathrooms, two telephone lines, and a study. There is a kitchen, a television room and a laundry room on the ground floor shared by all the residents. Small items can be stored in the storage spaces on each floor. An intercom system allows residents to contact other residents on other floors. A few parking spaces are also available for residents.
