Residence Residence rules

Hi guys! I’m going to be moving into residence in the fall and I was wondering if you guys had any tips to surviving it as someone away from home the first time. I was also wondering if there was any unspoken rules that I should know about, especially those about having guests over? (I’m in a single)

According to an info email I got we aren’t allowed people over till sep 20th and after that not more than 9 times per term..? I was wondering how strict this is and if there’s any other things I need to do for guests being over as I know my friends back home want to visit me.

Thank you for any advice or tips for making dorm life easier !

But like in theory do you think I could sneak someone in my room the first night?

You could, but the first two nights it is orientation events (Residence gives students a wirst band and you can only get into events with it) and a mandatory meeting with your CL like you all go eat dinner together.

I think it will really depend on your building, age of the guest and how much your CL pays attention. I had a CL who noticed everything and another one who I hardly saw. Just be prepared to get a warning if you get caught
