However, some residents do say that the closeness of co-op life is not always an asset. "With the number of people we have, there isn't a lot of privacy." Cowie says about the Dudley Co-op.
But the "smallness is crucial," says Michael A. Sabin '90 of Jordan. "The nature of the situation is to keep it small so it is personal."
Although co-op residents comprise less than I percent of the undergraduate student body, those who live there say there is rarely a shortage of newcomers waiting to try the communal life. "We don't advertise very much because we haven't really got the space," Redditt says.
Jordan, however, which is losing many of its current students to graduation, is trying actively to recruit new residents, Cabranes-Grant says. "The population is obviously down from the all-time high," he says.
Both Jordan and Dudley have invited first-year students, who filled out their housing choices last week, to visit this month, although first-year students are usually advised to live in a Harvard house before applying to one of the co-ops.
