Euclid is one of the smaller houses—clean, mellow, and cozy. We’re unique in that we have the highest single-to-double ratio in the co-ops: out of nineteen rooms, only five are doubles. Yeah, baby, do that delicious math in your head.
We’re not exactly competing for the crown of BEST MEGA PARTY HOUSE EVER!!! Nope. Here at Euclid, we’re more about soirees. We’re like your favorite coffee shop—the one you claim you go to for the free internet and java buzz to “help with your homework” when really, it’s all about that sweet, sweet taste of procrastination.
Our multi-purpose living room is the heart of the house, where we study, watch movies & shows, play the piano, and dive into board games & pool. We’re a diverse bunch, but what unites us is a deep love for our home. With that love comes a commitment to keeping our space clean and holding each other accountable—not just for house chores but for being responsible and supportive members of our community. Through open and respectful communication, we take pride in calling ourselves the cleanest co-op (yeah, we said it).
And if you think you’ve got special gifts no one appreciates… well, we probably won’t either. Kidding! We totally will, and we’re excited to meet you!
Some historical acknowledgement for ya… Euclid Hall was originally built in the 1920s as a meeting space and residence for the Japanese Students Club at UC Berkeley. During WWII when Japanese students were sent to internment camps, the Co-op leased the house to preserve it as student housing. After the war Euclid was returned to the Japanese Students Club.
By the 1960s, with Japanese students integrating into mainstream student life, the JSC sold Euclid to the Co-op, and used the money to create a scholarship fund.
