Ecology House, or more formally, Ecology House: The Hurlburt Residential College for Environmental Education and Awareness, is a residence hall on Cornell University's North Campus. Ninety-six students live in Ecology House, many serving on house committees. Some house activities include a house retreat in the fall, social events, movie nights, weekly dining hall dinners, educational events, environmental discussions, and hikes. The community is vibrant, engaging, and fun. Students have diverse academic majors and are involved in a wide variety of campus organizations. One need not be an expert on the ecosystem to live in Eco House, interest in learning about and participating in an environmentally-friendly community is all that is required!
