Welcome to UCU,

 

The UCU Men’s House is a wonderful place to live, offering food, friends, and fellowship to up to 27 men attending the University of Washington. Located on the corner of 16th and 47th, UCU is only a block away from UW’s main campus and two blocks away from the Ave, making us conveniently close to all that the university and the area has to offer. The UCU Men’s house is highly involved with the UCU Women’s house right next door; we share meals, build friendships, and encourage each other in our faith and academics.

 

Residents build close relationships with one another, living in a tight-knit community and participating in many social activities. House members spend a great deal of free time hanging out with each other. Beyond our daily interactions, we host several planned social events each quarter. This includes Week of Man, socials, retreats, Java Night, and intramural sports. Additionally, members of UCU seek engagement with the student body at UW, as well as our surrounding community. We participate in church ministry and outreach projects and in school clubs. 

 

While we work to ensure that we are a very social house, academics remain a top priority at UCU. We recognize that we are at the University of Washington to learn so that we may serve God in the callings He has given us. Thus, we study hard and support each other in our academics to achieve excellence. Living at UCU means that you can often find someone in the house who has taken your classes before and can answer questions and offer assistance. House members are always excited to help each other out.

 

Above all, we seek to live together as a community in a manner that honors our Creator and reflects His love for us to those around us. UCU has a culture that naturally prioritizes God, and members’ walks with Christ are supported by house events and fellow residents. When I first moved into UCU I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it quickly became one of the best things to ever happen to me. It is a great privilege to be able to serve as the UCU Men’s House president, and I ask you to pray about and consider coming to UCU.

 

God Bless,

 

Alex Forstrom
