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
Life is unpredictable, good and bad things are inevitable. Things are going to happen that will change you forever. In the book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee there are young kids that all experience things that help them mature and change quicker than most children their age, but as you know everything happens for a reason.
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
Over the past year, we here at the Ryerson Students Union have noticed a few reoccurring issues regarding the inefficient use of study space for students in the SLC. Throughout the last month, we have been surveying our fellow students to see if
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
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
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
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
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).
At Arizona State University, all freshman are expected to live in residential dorms on campus. With that, specific policies and procedures are implemented to ensure that all students get the best experience possible while at ASU. It is expected that all students will abide by the rules, and there are consequences to not following them that can affect one’s academic success and good standing in the university. By adhering to these policies, not only do you make sure that your experience on campus is as beneficial to your education as possible, but so is the experience of those around you.
My future university is located in the center of downtown Toronto and therefore, I am looking forward to being able to access many
only lead to discrimination with insurance coverage but also with employers. Once the genetic information is part of the individual’s medical record, it may then be accessed by others. Cases of employers having used genetic information as part of the selection process have been found in Australia. Genetic discrimination has even been detected in the armed forces where a young man was asked to provide documentation that showed he was not predisposed to Marfan syndrome, of which he had a family history. Genetic discrimination is probably the biggest concern for individuals when it comes to the cause and effects of genetic testing upon society. Some of this concern roots from the extreme examples of world leaders and prevalent scientists in the
To further compare Algeria to America, Underhill employs the image of legal practices in both countries. He demonstrates that in Algiers in terms of justice, “instant decision relieved the anxiety and saved the purses of the parties” and shows how in America’s judicial system, “the long bill of cost, [and] the law’s delay . . . had taught [him] to view the judicial proceedings of our country with a jaundiced eye” (Tyler, 200). Through showing this difference, he believes that change may be elicited in the United States as well. “I present it to my fellow citizens. If it is generally pleasing, it may be easily introduced among us” (Tyler, 202).
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.
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,
When it comes to letting out a furnished property, it can cause a bit of a dilemma for tenants who have accumulated some furniture and other bits and bobs over the
