Welcome to the TreeHouse - where first-year students from all majors live and learn together in shaping a more sustainable future. Nestled on the fifth floor of East Wadsworth Hall overlooking campus, this dynamic living-learning community offers immersive experiences through seminars, field trips, community-building opportunities, and volunteer projects. Join your fellow students as you transform your sustainability curiosity or passion into action. Your Michigan Tech journey starts (sustainably) here!
Learn by Doing
All TreeHouse residents will be automatically enrolled in a one credit, immersive seminar that will be a core piece of residents’ fall experience. Seminar students will engage with faculty on campus and leaders in the community, participate in service projects, and learn how to get involved in sustainability efforts.
Optional Field Trips
Get outside. Get active. Make a difference. All with your new friends and housemates.
Get Involved
The TreeHouse partners with the Office of Sustainability and Resilience and a wide array of faculty and staff across campus. Students will be able to meet and connect with others in the Husky community who share common goals and interests around sustainability. Together, we will learn and grow this community in the inspiring natural backdrop of the Keweenaw Peninsula and the innovative spirit of Michigan Tech.
How to Join
Want to be a part of the TreeHouse Living Learning Community? Here's how:
- You can request to live in the community by signing into HuskyHouse → Profile & Roommate Questions → My Info.
- Be sure to select the appropriate term (Fall 2025). Indicate that you would like to live in a learning community by selecting “Yes”. Then select “TreeHouse” (co-ed and first-year option only). You can search for a roommate using the TreeHouse field.
- If you do not select a roommate already enrolled in the community, discuss the opportunity with your preferred roommate, as both you and your roommate must request to live in the TreeHouse to be assigned there.
