Alliance Housing

Welcome to Alliance

Alliance is an intentional living-learning community for student-athletes and any other students who are seeking to live an active lifestyle. All participants commit to eat meals with one another, participate in a weekly small group, and seek out ways of engaging the broader Calvin community. To participate students must submit an application and references. This housing option is available to junior and seniors (sophomores only with special permission). Alliance is located in the Rho and Tau apartment buildings on the east end of Knollcrest East.
