These houses have a head resident and a language assistant; as well, they have a faculty director, a coordinator of programs and an advisor. Ethnic meals and various programs are planned and shared in all houses.
	Honors Housing	Lawn Program, Echols and Rodman Scholars
	Academic Major/Interest Housing	Mosaic House, part of the International Residential College, houses 40 students, one of which is a Resident Assistsant. This house was student-initiated and reflects the University's commitment to cross-cultural understanding and respect. Internally, it seeks to provide diverse cultural opportunities, both formal and informal, and externally, it seeks to provide the University with a center from which the mosaic of cultural diversity can be viewed. The house has a student governing board, responsible for internal programming, community outreach, and application process.
	Other	The Lawn. The Lawn is a part of the University's original Academical Village. There are 55 rooms available, most with fireplaces, and furnished with period furniture, featuring a bed, rocking chair and desk. The rooms have sinks in them, but students must trek across the lawn to use bathrooms. A student committee is selected by faculty and staff to organize the selections of residents for the Lawn, each year. The Organizing Committee advertises criteria (such as GPA, community/univeristy participation, etc.) and receives applications. Over a hundred applications are screened by this student committee and 55 students are selected for this honor. A Head Resident is selected also. Several additional lawn rooms are endowed and residents are either selected by a committee of faculty, staff and students, or may live there because of a special title they hold (Student Council President). The rooms on The Range are the same, but do not open up to the Lawn. Recently a Range resdient suggested that a Range Council of students be formed and the Council would select residents to live on the Range, with a process similar to the Lawn Selection. The purpose of the new initiative is to define and reinforce an active community of graduate students.
