<p>You need to apply and interview to live in the Language House (usually students are at least sophomores). You interview in the language you want to target, and also interview in English. You do not have to be a foreign language major, but you do have to take at least one course in the language of your cluster every semester. The “clusters” are apartments within St. Mary’s, and each apartment is either male/female (no coed apartments). Usually Spanish and French are the most difficult clusters to get into. Your spoken language should be such that you can speak it 80% of the time you are in your apartment. There is also a requirement of attending cluster meetings, participating in language-house events, and to live there multiple years, you need to be actively involved (i.e. leading) one of the many Language House clubs or groups.</p>
