UNIVERSITY
Living in residence can be a very interesting part of your university
career. In fact, the RADS recommends that all out-of-town students live
in residence during their first year of studies.
There are many BENEFITS
to living in residence:
-
it's easy to make new friends
-
you don't have to worry about crazy landlords
-
room conditions must be appropriate and meet standards
-
you don't have to cook
-
if your lucky enough to get on a special interest floor, you can
easily get help with your school work from your colleagues and more senior
students (who already know the tricks of the trade!)
But it may not be all great.....
-
if you get stuck with an obnoxious room mate
-
if you may have to share washroom facilities
-
there's a lack of privacy
-
and good luck living in a quiet environment!
 When
looking at the residence, pay close attention to:
-
the atmosphere of the building and its tenants
-
rules and regulations
-
room sizes
-
accommodation costs
-
meal plans
-
the room assignment procedure
 When applying for on-campus
living, most universities will ask you to complete a survey. Take
the time to answer the questions diligently and seriously. After all, the
answers you give will go along way when it comes to matching room mates.
And the worst thing that can happen to you while living on-campus is getting
a room mate that you can't get along with!
