What is a Boarder?

• A boarder is a person who eats at the co-ops but does not live on the premises.
• One is eligible to become a boarder during any of SCA's resident terms; since there are no provisions for food service during the interim breaks, there is no boarding during those breaks.
• A "full" boarder is one who eats more than 10 meals a week in the co-ops; a "partial" boarder is one who eats 10 or less.
• Currently, we are only providing house dinner meals as an option for boarders.
• House dinners are hearty, home-cooked, nutritious, and primarily organic meals.
• House dinners are vegan and vegetarian friendly. Please specify any other specific food needs.
