Familiarize yourself with our rules of stay to ensure a safe, harmonious and enjoyable living environment for all residents.

Every student is required to behave in a respectful manner and in a way that does not cause disturbance or threaten the safety, health, physical or emotional integrity of other students, staff, University associates, and cleaning personnel. Additionally, they must refrain from causing damages to their studio and/or communal areas of the Halls. Students should not enter another student’s studio without permission. In the event that any student exhibits inappropriate behavior, disciplinary measures will be taken (see paragraph 10).

1. 1.1. Noise Students must be aware of and adhere to the designated quiet hours, which are from 1:00 PM to 4.00 PM and from 11:00 PM to 8:00 AM. During quiet hours, students should keep the level of noise to a point where it cannot be heard in another student’s studio or hallways. Beyond these hours, it is expected that all students are responsible to monitor their behavior, regardless of the time of day, so as to not interfere with the lifestyle of others. If a student or staff member asks a student to be quieter, regardless of the time of day, your compliance is expected.
2. 1.2. Cleanliness The student is responsible for maintaining their room and the common areas clean, adhere to hygiene rules and promptly report any maintenance/operational issues.
