Wilde House (Johnson-Rivera House)
Wilde is America’s first student co-op for lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, questioning, intersex, asexual, and queer students, and we welcome people of all orientations, gender identities, and expressions. While our theme is LGBTQIA and Queer, we strive to create a community that is aware of the intersections of the different systems of oppression and dedicated to uprooting institutional discrimination. We strive to offer a safe, inclusive, and equitable environment with regard to race, class, ability level, ethnicity, and spirituality, and we hold a commitment to helping bring about social justice in our community. Anyone who has an interest in being a part of the many and various LGBT communities on campus is strongly encouraged to come, take part in, and contribute to our cultural space through attending or planning workshops, performances, film screenings, presentations, queer organization meetings, or anything else having to do with our LGBTQIA & Queer theme.
If you sit in the living room long enough, you’ll be sure to be recruited for a game of Mario Party, darts or board game of the month. Artistic individuals are sure to appreciate our hallways, which are covered with murals from generations of creative Wildebeests, and environmental activists will be fans of our roof, which features clotheslines and solar powered water heaters in addition to a killer view of the bay. If your friend needs to crash for the night, they can go to the Oasis: a guest room which they can use for up to two weeks at a time. We also understand the academic demands of being a Berkeley student, so we have a basement library/study room, great for those cram nights and equipped with a printer and scanner.
