Building a Village: How to Live Near Your Friends

⚠️
I decided to cancel this class after running it for the last two semesters. Instead, I recommend enrolling in Cabin’s Neighborhood Accelerator Program. It’s run by friends of mine, and the curriculum was informed by my class. Also, I’ll be a program mentor, so I hope to see you there ☺️. Best, Priya

About

Has your friend group been fantasizing about buying property together? Do you miss living on a campus? Do you wish your best friend lived down the street from you?

In this class, you’ll learn how to coordinate your friends to live near each other. This is a practical, hands-on class, and homework will include hosting regularly (which is a key step in convincing your friends to move nearby).
