About Telluride House (217 West Avenue)

Telluride House at Cornell is the residential branch of the Telluride Association at Cornell — a merit-based, tuition-free academic-living community founded in 1910 and located at 217 West Avenue, near campus. House members are admitted via a competitive academic competition and live tuition- and room-and-board-free. The house operates with significant student self-governance. Notable past residents include Nobel laureate Sheldon Lee Glashow '54 (Physics) and labor leader Jack Sheinkman '49 (also a Watermargin Co-Op founder).
