The Basics of Our House
You don't have to speak French to live at French House! Located four blocks from the UT campus, French House is graduate/upper division student house with room for 20 people. The relaxed, fairly quiet crowd enjoys large commons areas with wood floors and windows galore.
Frenchies take pride in their meals (sorry, no veggie options) and well-managed home. Because members prefer conversing with each other, TVs stay in private rooms except for special events. Pets are accepted by house vote on a case-by-case basis, but the house does not allow dogs. Smoking is limited to private rooms and the front porch.
Our Community Structure
Prospective members who are not upper-division or graduate students must be voted into the house.
House meetings are every fortnight, generally on Sunday nights following dinner. Attendance is strongly encouraged. Members are responsible for reading the meeting minutes if they miss the meeting.
Dinners are served Sunday through Thursday night at 7:00 pm. A veggie option may not be available. The kitchen is open 24 hours, and food is available to all members unless it is personal food or food dedicated to the preparation of a meal.
We are friendly to animals in cages and up to five well-cared-for cats. No dogs are allowed. We outlaw the use of television in our common areas, except for special events such as house movie night. Personal televisions are welcome, so long as they remain in members' rooms. Smoking is allowed in personal space and outside. Common areas will be smoke-free. Quiet hours are not defined, but consideration is important. If you are asked by a housemate to lower your noise level you must respect that request.
