The Common Ground House on Bay State Road is a house designed for those wanting to live in an emphatically multi-background setting. A special application is required prior to general housing decisions in order to be considered for specialty housing. Bay State Road also has brownstones for students in the University Professors program and Trustee Scholars. There are also specialty floors in large dormitories, such as pre-medical floors, education floors, same-sex floors, etc. The only graduate student housing is also located off of Bay State Road, at 2 Raleigh Street. The house is known as Theology House, and is for members of the School of Theology.

Famous quotes containing the words specialty and/or housing:
“Women’s battle for financial equality has barely been joined, much less won. Society still traditionally assigns to woman the role of money-handler rather than money-maker, and our assigned specialty is far more likely to be home economics than financial economics.”
—Paula Nelson (b. 1945)
“We have been weakened in our resistance to the professional anti-Communists because we know in our hearts that our so-called democracy has excluded millions of citizens from a normal life and the normal American privileges of health, housing and education.”
—Agnes E. Meyer (1887–1970)
