5. What are the rules?

Journey House property and building is a substance-free environment: meaning it is free of alcohol, tobacco and drug use. Residents are asked to adhere to a “Covenant Contract”. This means that we all agree to a few basic rules of courtesy that help to make everyone comfortable and to uphold some community-living ideals. The rules aren’t much different from standard dorm policies. Residents are welcome to have visitors and there is no resident curfew.

Not at all!
All we ask is that you are attending an institution of higher learning.
