AVERY HOUSE

Single Rooms and Suites

VERY HOUSE was built in 1996 as an innovative experiment to encourage informal interaction between graduate and undergraduate students, and faculty. It is the ideal environment for the single student who prefers the amenities of a modern residential hall and the convenience of a meal plan. 24 private, furnished rooms with shared bath are available to graduate students. Undergraduates live in 108 rooms and there are 3 apartments for faculty-in-residence. All Avery residents are required to purchase the meal plan each term except during summer. Meals are available on-campus, Monday - Friday, in Chandler Cafeteria, the Red Door and Broad Cafes and the Convenience Store.

Avery Meal Plan

Graduate students on the Avery meal plan will have their Student ID cards set up to a declining balance program so that meals may be taken from the Chandler Cafeteria, the Red Door and Broad Cafes, the Coffeehouse and the Caltech Convenience Store. The Campus Card Office will arrange an available balance of meal dollars on your Caltech ID card as designated by Caltech Dining Services. The corresponding amount is billed to your student account by the Housing Office at the beginning of each academic term. You are required to swipe your ID card with the cashiers every time you wish to make use of your meal dollars. Meal dollars must be used by the end of each academic term or will be forfeited.
