Taos is a unique and affordable student community, located right on the Drag! The five-story building boasts views of the UT Tower and easy access to restaurants and shops on Guadalupe Street. Taos is the closest co-op to UT-Austin, across the street from the northwest corner of campus. Taos is a student co-op which is democratically managed by the members who live there. Members pool resources and work together to lower our housing costs and gain more control over our living environment. Find out if Taos membership is right for you!

While Taos does have its flaws, it is an amazing place filled with some really amazing people. This is not a place run by a major corporation, but instead by a community. It is a place unlike any I have lived at, for I have never seen so many people participate in community events and be active in the common areas. Board games are played practically every night, with movie nights and other game nights thrown in throughout the week. These games are not run by an RA, but by someone who just wanted to play a game so set it up and people joined. People can be super friendly and amazingly helpful. The place may not be the cleanest, for it is maintained by 20 year olds, but it is still pretty good and I personally haven't had any major issues and I have serious issues with germs. It is nice that we have control of our common areas, as we decide when to paint and what color, or if a wall should be knocked down. The meals are amazing and an absolute gift for someone like me who hates cooking. I do not know what people are talking about with the noise, it is super quiet 99% of the time. Taos has become a home to me, a flawed home, but a home nonetheless. Co-ops are not for everyone, but for those that are willing to work a little bit (4 hours a week) it is an amazing place.

I really enjoyed my time living here - definitely living on a dime, and you get what you pay for, but really, Taos provides everything you need to be comfortable. Residents are always nice and the house officers, while still residents, have a high standard for cooperation and a low tolerance for BS. If someone really hates this place, its probably because they were causing problems and the fellow residents didn't want to put up with it. Love Taos, thanks for the memories!

The best student owned, student run, housing cooperative in the state. Comfortable, safe, convenient, and well organized. Across the street from UT campus and only a block and a half from the College of Communications.

I absolutely love Taos- colorful, lively, completely homemade, and rich with history. Great place to live if you're willing to work, and be a part of a respectful and loving community! (Not chandler, obv).

I was visiting a friend here once and as I was leaving one of the residents went on the Taos Facebook page and described me as a "suspicious character"
