Want to know why you should complete the perception study?
P.S. Its emailed to on-campus residents every Monday!

By completing the survey known as the Perception Study, ResLife can improve hall staff practices, hall amenities, and more! We are able to determine if safety and security practices are effective in your halls and make sure residents feel at home.

In the past, we have taken feedback to add ice machines, select new furniture from common areas, and even relocate some lounges for better resident use!
Make sure you give your feedback so we can continue to improve!

• When you sign your housing contract has NOTHING to do with your room assignment - room assignments take place at a later time and are a random lottery
• You can apply to a Residential Learning Community (RLC) in the Housing Contract process
• All contract processes are through the Online Housing Portal (see Lnk.Bio and/or our website)
