La Casa Hispanica
Harvey is where students wishing to perfect their Spanish language skills reside. Better known as Spanish House or La Casa Hispanica, Harvey is closely connected with the Department of Hispanic Studies. One Faculty-in-Residence and two Teaching Assistants (TAs) live in the house with one Resident Assistant (RA) to supervise the students and help them progress with their language skills. Nearly 30 students are selected to live in Harvey which means this community, though small, is passionate about the Spanish language and all that comes with it.
The two lounges in Harvey are consistently used for parties, study breaks and brunches cooked by the residents. For those wishing to practice their skills while socializing, Harvey hosts specials meals and 'Cafˇ Latinos' in the house and the main dining hall has a reserved room for members of the house and those wishing to participate.
Like all the language-based Program Houses, students wanting to live in Harvey must speak Spanish (all proficiencies from beginner to fluent are welcome) and fill out an application to live there.
