I am both really excited and tentative about living in a coop house next year, my first year off campus!

If I apply now, what are the chances of me actually receiving the contract? On campus dorm applications close on Jan 17, should I apply there too just in case coop doesn’t have spots and I’ll be left with no choice in the last few months?

To whomever that lived in a coop house before, can you elaborate on the living situation there? I’ve heard of all the obvious pros and cons, but what about the reputation? Academic atmosphere vs. party scene?

THANKS A TON IN ADVANCE! (:
