Marwood Cooperative House, being the oldest cooperative dating back to 1936, offers a care-free and close-knit environment where young men can learn essential skills that will help them later on in life. Marwood is conveniently located next to the Levee and is a short walk from campus. Because of its relatively small number of members, Marwood offers an opportunity to make friends that will indeed last a lifetime. The best thing about Marwood is that there is always something to do. Need help with a class? The members of Marwood are enrolled in a variety of different majors; you can always find someone to help answer a question. At Marwood we stress the importance of academics and all members are strongly encouraged to apply themselves to the best of their abilities. Got all of your homework done? Just walk down the hall and see who is hanging out or playing games in the front yard. Need Exercise? We participate in a variety of intramural sports against other cooperative houses. Feel like relaxing somewhere besides campus? The men of Marwood often pack up for a weekend of camping, paintball, or both. Marwood, to this day, prides itself on its unique diversity, efficiency, and self-sufficiency. The house and the property it stands on are jointly owned, not by the university, but by each member of Marwood, both active members and alumni. By living at Marwood, we are perpetuating the life of an organization that we can honestly call our own.
