You’re close tothe library, movies, concerts, athletic events, all the good eats —everything. You don’t even have to change your own light bulbs!Has a nice ring to it, right? Sure, you’ll be sharing it with others,but that is okay because you will be living with new and excitingpeople and you’ll also learn how to carve out a private area thatis all yours. Don’t worry. It’s all part of the learning process.After you arrive on campus and move in, residence hall staffmembers (your residence hall director, resident assistant and areacoordinator) are available to answer questions and work with youto handle problems and develop the support you need in yourcampus environment. They’re not just here to answer questions,though. They like to have fun too, and the result is that you willlearn much about yourself, the university and life.Your Housing Assignment:The Offi ce of Housing & Residence Life will provide informationon when you can move into your on-campus assignment. Thebest way to stay informed is to look at the Housing & ResidenceLife website for the most up-to-date information. More informationsuch as hall and room number, driving directions, campuspost offi ce box, mailing address, roommate(s) name, addressand phone number will be provided in your assignment information.You are encouraged to contact your roommate(s) to getacquainted and make plans before your arrival so you can beginto get to know the person you will start this adventure with.Roommates:Roommates who have mutually selected each other through thehousing application process (mutually selected means that bothstudents have listed the preferred roommate’s correct UIN and theexact building preferences in the exact order) and based uponapplication dates and remaining space available (whew!) willdetermine if students will be assigned together.
