Pretty good food, nice pool, great parties, even better family.
Best place to live in West Campus.

Pearl Street
Living here was the most rewarding experience that I have ever had. This place is so much more that a home, it's a cooperative society, packed with friends and fun. If you desire more than a formal education from the university/college systems and are also looking for lessons in real life, you should apply to live here.

Pearl street is a magical establishment. It’s a very safe space for students to experience communal living and what it means to have a truly Democratic society. There can be wild parties, and things can get dirty, but one of the core values is respect. So everything gets cleaned and people are afforded a safe space to party. It’s old, but there’s dedicated maintenance people to fix what needs fixin.
If you’re looking for a quiet house, it’s probably safer to choose another college houses or if coop, but pearl isn’t super loud every day or anything.
The pool is easily the best part. All your lunches and dinners are cooked for you by your housemates. You can make rules and host your own events. And the friends that you make are for life!!!
Highly recommend living here.

I've lived here in Laurel for four years. Great place to practice democracy and meet new people! Within walking/biking/skating distance of classes at UT

Always interesting to go back to visit one of the few places that does not change a lot in West Campus

There’s a lot to say after living at Pearl for 3 years, but to sum it up, Pearl has helped me become comfortable with who I am. Pearlies have each other’s backs. Pearl is family. Having a community who accepts me means everything to me
