Your first year together
Hoos@Home is a new academic pilot program that will be held in select first-year housing associations -- Dillard, Metcalf/Lefevre, and Tuttle-Dunnington -- in the 2023-2024 academic year.
Residents do not need to sign up for Hoos@Home, but will be able to participate in and take advantage of the program's resources and support simply because of where they are living.
