Students joining as full student members or associate student members can reserve a space for the fall by choosing their rooms and making a deposit. Residency for Parkland only requires an intention to permanently reside in the area, which means all CFTF members would immediately qualify. Credit hours at the community college usually transfer to the University of Illinois and credit transfer can be assured by checking requirements beforehand. The full student member would participate fully with the rest of the community including having the same voting rights as anyone else. We buy food, cook, and eat together, although it is understood that many times a student's or a worker's schedule might not permit eating together more than a few times a week.
Members can prepare their own meals or pack their own lunches for meals they miss.
Also, we will attempt to buy and prepare foods to meet any diet. Students would help some with meals and housekeeping, but it should amount to no more than one or two hours per week. Participation in our weekly meeting would be strongly encouraged, and we hope that at least a couple meetings a month could be attended by each person. We would also hope to enjoy some weekend evening entertainment together. New full-time student members who already have a child would have to work out special arrangements with us, but this should not pose a problem.
