Hypatia is a 12-person cooperative that is currently home to graduate and undergraduate students, workers, and professionals. We are located in a beautiful mansion surrounded by a historic garden. Our house is in a quiet neighborhood three blocks north of the capitol, eight blocks from campus, and one block from Lake Mendota. Our spacious living and dining room has hardwood floors, floor-to-ceiling windows that face the capitol, and a fireplace.
MCC strives to improve the Madison community by providing low-cost, not-for-profit cooperative housing for very low- to moderate-income people and to be inclusive of underrepresented and marginalized groups.
Briefly, we ask that people come to three dinners, fill in a survey. If from out of town, we make modifications to the process.
