Off-campus house
From CarlWiki
Off-campus houses are college-owned buildings that are not dorms but are used to house students. There are over twenty such houses. Many are dedicated specific parts of the Carleton community as interest houses. A group of off-campus houses located between the campus and Division Street are collectively known as called town houses.
Off-campus houses should not be confused with living off-campus through the use of the Northfield Option, which allows students to live in residences that are not owned by the college.

Living off-campus
The application process for off-campus houses varies depending on the house. For those that are designated as interest houses, there is an application period during Winter Term. For others, such as Hall House, rooms are distributed via Room Draw, just as with dorms.
Off-campus houses are not available to freshmen, who are assigned a dorm room based on a preference form.
