Welcome to the Kaneko Commons, one of the first commons systems to be established in the West. It was originally a residence hall with 151 beds that mainly housed 1st year students in normal double dorm rooms, but is now capable of providing living spaces for over 350 students. These new living spaces take the form of singles, doubles, suites and apartments, all with private bathrooms and air conditioning. There is a fantastic new cafeteria, laundry amenities, and a ton of new places to study and hang out. The commons strongly emphasizes sustainability, which is reflected in the building’s LEED Gold certification. Kaneko Commons is not just about having a fancy and environmentally sound building however. The Commons were designed in a way that allows students of all different levels of experience to learn from one another and study together. Because of its size Kaneko has a large programming budget that is distributed entirely at the discretion of the Commons Council, which is elected by residents of Kaneko. This budget can be used to make almost anything happen, from pool parties and pizza to hall trips to Blazer games. All Kaneko residents are invited to attend council meetings or work with their Wing Correspondent and Community Mentor to make a program happen.

Please explore this site and get to know your Community Mentors and the Council, and have a great year in Kaneko!
