Maintaining a Harmonious Living Environment

When sharing living spaces, it is important to act responsibly and considerately toward your fellow residents. This includes being mindful of noise levels, turning off lights and closing windows when not in use, and adhering to specific rules outlined in your housing contract.

The goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and healthy living environment for all residents. Rules may vary depending on the program, but these guidelines are in place to ensure that everyone can enjoy their time in the residence hall.

• Communicate effectively with your roommates and neighbors. Establish ground rules for noise levels and other activities, and work together to create a peaceful and comfortable living space.
• Show respect to the other occupants in your apartment or residence. Clean up after yourself and ensure your living space is always tidy and organized.
• Be polite to your neighbors, greet them in the hallways, and avoid disturbing them late at night.
• Maintain the safety of yourself, your roommates, and your belongings. Be cautious about inviting guests and overnight stays.
• Take responsibility for your own cooking and cleaning. Wash your dishes daily and keep the bathroom clean. Avoid leaving your personal items in common areas.
• Keep in mind that you are financially responsible for the condition of the apartment. Additional cleaning may incur charges. Damages to the apartment will be your responsibility to cover.
