Friends is a 12 Room currently 14 member coop on West Johnson Street. We currently have one newborn, two rats, and a hamster. In the back we have a wonderful garden, which, along with our CSA boxes, supply us with ample healthy produce to make our 100% vegetarian, always vegan and celiac friendly dinners.  Our house attracts a diverse population of students as well as working adults. A member should expect to enjoy all aspects of intentional community, and ought not to be surprised to find themselves in a discussion in the living room about everything from politics and philosophy, to animal rights or even hauling sleeping bags with housemates up to the next Capitol occupation.
