1) I live in the campus community called “The Province” and I had an interview with its manager, Thomas Genna.
The Province is an American Campus Community that is academically-oriented student housing. It provides a high-quality student housing and extends far beyond bricks and leases. The organization works with universities and owners to deliver an exceptional student experience, on campus and off. According to the manager, the purpose of the organization is to “consistently provide every resident with an environment conducive to healthy living, personal growth, academic achievement and professional success”.
As was mentioned by the manager, student success is number one priority in this organization. Whether it is providing the tools

There are 2 main types of cottages’ competitors: the university dormitory and the private apartment.
Cons of dormitories:
➢ People who prefer privacy will not like the life in the hostel because the University dormitories have pretty small rooms, quite noisy and there are always a lot of people.
For example, for two it can be a total of 9 squares in the room. Therefore, a person have to forget about personal space. It may also do a disservice in preparing for exams, if you can 't say no to a party or just to engage in a noisy environment. In addition to that, bathrooms and kitchens are usually shared and located on each floor.
➢ Person needs to worry about where he will live on vacation, as the majority of universities in holiday time evict students from hostels.
➢ The need to strictly observe the rules of living on campus. In every University they are different. Thus, in some it is forbidden to bring guests to your room and generally on campus, others have a "curfew", in the third you can 't smoke and drink alcohol, listen to loud music, have pets, etc.
Cons of private apartment:
➢ It will be necessary to pay a deposit for renting new housing; as a rule, it is the cost of a month or six weeks rent.
➢ The cost of utilities (electricity, Internet, water, cable TV) adds up the cost of rent.
➢ The possibility of additional charges. For
Housing in Toronto is at an all time high, through research found it has become apparent that there is a significant problem with affordable housing. Although finding affordable housing is not necessarily impossible, those who are lucky enough to find affordable accommodations end up with other issues that are beyond their control such as pests and property maintenance issues. Many families living in Toronto are considered middle class and could easily afford to live anywhere else, the rent prices are too steep in the city for them to afford. The city is growing at a healthy rate and there is already a significantly high homeless rate in the city. The purpose of this proposal is to introduce a few organizations that have plans to help this
Living on campus requires you to only walk a relatively short distance from the dorm to the classroom. You are also surrounded by other students your age with similar ideals and outlooks on life as your own. Meals are accessible and on campus activities are much more convenient and ideal to attend. Living on campus does for the most part does have its benefits. As a student living on campus you are given the opportunity to socialize on a regular bases. Interaction becomes easier because you are amongst an atmosphere of likeminded individuals. Whether it may be in the dormitory among roommates or sitting in the quad with friends between classes.
Hence, students must learn to properly nourish their bodies with a nutritional diet, enough sleep, and limited intake of alcohol or dugs. Next, students must feel both safe in regards to financial and personal security. Financially security is often what both dormers and commuters alike struggle with, and often take on 20+ hours of work (a damaging effect on school work), or have no gaurantee of being able to afford to come back to school the next year. Also, students learn in college and enjoy their time there if they feel safe enough to explore the campus and walk at night, or use the bus. Hence a low crime rate should be necessary. Thirdly, belonging means students feel they have close friends and family to talk to and be accepted by both at home and on campus. In this sense, it is easier for dormers to find friends on campus, but get more distances with those back at home, while the opposite is true for commuters. However, if both make an effort to get involved in groups of their interest on campus, and keep in touch with family and friends back home, they can overcome these struggles, although it may be difficult at first due to the big campus size and busy schedules. Once the basic needs are met so far, students must feel a sense of self-worth and achievement. They need to
One thing students lose when they decide to dorm is privacy. They have to share a bedroom, bathroom, and living space with other students. Some students have no experience sharing a room with another human being, and the transition can be frustrating at times. Studying is difficult
As an incoming freshman, I was a nervous wreck about living away from home. I’ve gained a lot of independence from living on campus. Thankfully, my mother did my laundry while I was younger, so I learned real quickly on how to do that. One benefit to living on campus would definitely be the amount of independence compared to commuting from home. There are still rules but I found it amazing that I could hang out with my friends until late at night and not have a curfew to come home. Another reason I would influence living on campus is the amount of great people you will meet. I find it interesting that people from all different kinds of backgrounds and towns can come together and be friends and continue to be friends for a
We would like to congratulate your office on the first successful year of operating and maintaining Ryerson’s Student Learning Centre. When the announcement was made that Ryerson would be adding this state of the art facility to our campus we as students were ecstatic to experience a learning space which was truly unique. Although the Student Learning Centre has been extremely beneficial to all students Ryerson Students this far, we believe the space has not been used to its full potential.
In these dorms, the initial interactions that socially code us throughout college are initiated. These social interactions create and solidify bonds between students that can continue for the rest of their lives. A change to the demographics of the freshman dorms doesn’t just create an immediate effect, but also affects every current and future resident of UC Davis. A freshmen social group that is initially less diverse will lead to a less diverse group of friends throughout the remaining years of their undergraduate studies. This reduces their social group to a less diverse group of individuals, which reduces the chance for them to interact with other cultures and overcome any form of culture shock that they are affected by, whether it be here in UC Davis or later in their careers. Freshmen dorms are the only place that nurtures cultural interaction to create a UC Davis community that is ultimately more unified, accepting, and respectful of all people and their different cultures.
Colleges have always encouraged their students to live on campus, especially freshman. This is for the reason that living on campus allows student to encounter new cultures, participate in organizations, and reach academic heights. For example, Tarleton State University states that “Living on campus will enable [the student] to interact with diverse people enriching [their] educational experience and will provide convenient access to professors and academic resources the campus offers. In addition, on-campus students are more likely to become and stay involved in clubs and organizations” (Tarleton State University, 2016). Along with the notion that students residing on campus are likely to reach academic heights, a study conducted at the University of North Dakota during the fall semester of 1966-1967
This study discusses the risks that college students can be exposed to when choosing off campus housing. Initially, this article presents the property owners of rental properties as individuals who do not take care of their properties and have no concern for the tenant. Further reading of this article finds that due to the high turnover with rental properties and college students there is a greater risk of the student becoming physically sick due to the environment within the rental property. “Globally, housing is the single most important environmental factor associated with disease conditions and higher mortality and morbidity rates (United Nations, 2007)” (Johnson, Cole & Merrill, 2009, p. 2).
Providence College is a liberal arts college, which consists of roughly four thousand undergraduate students, located in Providence, Rhode Island. One of the staples of the college has been the ability to live off-campus on Eaton Street starting in a student’s junior year. The attraction stems from most of the party scene on the weekends being at these houses on the streets bordering the campus. However, starting in the Fall of 2017, the school is implicating a new policy that juniors are required to live on campus. While the school is attempting to reduce disturbances in the surrounding community caused by partying college students, this housing restriction is only going to cause further issues for Providence College, its students, and
Pearson College UWC. Under the leadership of Desirée McGraw, our Head of College, I have lived and learned with students from over eighty different countries and all over Canada. It was here that I engaged in discussions of Electoral Reform and Canada’s goals in COP21 with students from across Canada.

My experience at Pearson College will make me a motivated and interested page as I listen in on Parliament as it discusses the future of our
The students who do not adapt and choose to abstain are immediately labeled negatively. By choosing not to participate in the universal activity on campus, these students limit their social life. This is a tremendous sacrifice. College supposedly represents the best years a person’s of life. No one wants to miss out due to being perceived as overwrought and uptight. For this reason,
More than 98 percent of understudies live on grounds in residences. Rookies and sophomores should live in private universities, while youngsters and seniors regularly live in assigned upperclassman residences. The real quarters are tantamount, however just private universities have eating corridors. In any case, any undergrad may buy a supper arrange and eat in a private school eating corridor. As of late, upperclassmen have been given the choice of staying in their school for every one of the four years. Youngsters and seniors likewise have the choice of living off-grounds, yet high lease in the Princeton region urges all understudies to live in college lodging. Undergrad social life spins around the private schools and various coeducational eating clubs, which understudies may participate in the spring of their sophomore year. Eating clubs, which are not authoritatively partnered with the college, serve as eating lobbies and collective spaces for their individuals furthermore have get-togethers all through the scholarly

Parents who are looking for flats for their children starting university will want somewhere temporary but also safe and comfortable. This is another market which has a high demand for rented furnished apartments. Luxury apartments with built in security systems will be attractive to parents, particularly parents of girls living alone. Students can enjoy their university life with luxury amenities and their parents have peace of mind that they are staying safe.
