Spanish Language Community Online Application

The Spanish Language House is a living and learning community for sophomore, junior, and senior students majoring or minoring in Spanish, or for students who have taken or are currently enrolled in Spanish courses. Student residents of the House should have a strong interest in Hispanic cultures and in speaking the language, or be native Spanish-speakers. This Community, made possible through a partnership between the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultures and University Housing, is ideal for students interested in an immersion experience without going overseas, or as preparation for study abroad in a Spanish-speaking country.
