Off-campus Housing
Caltech-owned housing that is not part of any of the eight Houses is known as "off-campus" housing, even if it is actually physically located on the Caltech campus. (Non-Caltech owned housing is called "off-off-campus.") These housing units do not maintain memberships or have the community or traditions that the other Houses have. Off-campus housing currently consists of Marks House, Braun House, the Del Mar apartments, the Chester apartments, and a handful of single-family homes owned by Caltech. All of these are either within the Caltech campus, or within a few blocks of it. A small portion of Avery is also included in the off-campus lottery with the rest of these properties.

Famous quotes containing the word housing:
“We have been weakened in our resistance to the professional anti-Communists because we know in our hearts that our so-called democracy has excluded millions of citizens from a normal life and the normal American privileges of health, housing and education.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
