We understand your concerns about sharing spaces with other students especially during this challenging time. All students will be placed in a single room in a traditional or suite-style residence for the winter term. There are lots of posters and reminders around residence on how to share public spaces safely and residents are expected to adhere to the Terms and Conditions of their contract.
If you are placed in a suite, we know that adjusting to life with a suite mate can be stressful. If your suite mate has consented to share their information, we encourage you to reach out and make arrangements you’re both comfortable with about how to keep your space safe.
We will also share regular safety messages by email – such as cleaning products to consider, how to encourage social distancing, and how to develop a cooking and cleaning schedule. If you aren’t already following us on Instagram @uwhousing, this is another great place to stay up to date on trending topics and get tips to make your move in process seamless and safe.
After move-in, be sure to connect with your Don, an upper-year student mentor living in residence, to create a roommate agreement and safety plan.
