About

This quaint eleven-bedroom house in the Berkeley Hills offers a wonderful view of the San Francisco Bay. It is located within easy walking distance of campus and Strawberry Canyon, perfect whether you are going to class or on a moonlight hike with fellow housemates.

Dinner at AfroThe African-American Theme House (informally known as "Afro House") fosters a supportive community for people of all backgrounds. Its diverse population reflects the house theme by hosting meetings and events in support of African-American student groups. Members of the house are expected to invest a few hours every semester doing outreach, contributing meaningfully to the African-American community at large.

Afro House's atmosphere is very laid back. Dinners are a central part of house bonding, with everyone seated around a single large table. Social events include dances (including the recurring Jock Jamz theme), music and story nights, wine and cheese, and special dinners like our soul food Thanksgiving. On any given night, you are sure to find residents socializing in all sorts of ways, potentially including studying with others in the dining room, competing in a friendly game of pool in the living room, or singing along in a spontaneous jam session in the kitchen.
