阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 acknowledges and responds to residence student concerns

(october 14, 2011 - orillia, on) 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 acknowledges and responds to questions and concerns from 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 living in residence at the orillia campus with detailed answers and offers of financial compensation.

"we realize that the first six weeks of residence life for our 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 this year have been anything but typical," says campus dean kim fedderson.

the newly constructed residence at the university avenue campus had an opening delay, and as a result more than 100 lakehead 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 were housed in local hotels for the first few weeks of the fall semester. when the 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 moved into their residence rooms in late september, they were faced with further inconveniences as construction of the residence and cafeteria continued.

"世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 were excited to move into residence and pleased with their accommodations," noted jean acharya, residence general manager. "however, many 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 expressed their disappointment that some services, such as cable tv, laundry facilities, and cafeteria food services were not fully in place and available at that time."

since then, laundry services have been installed; satellite tv is available in student lounges; and the cafeteria is scheduled to open for full meal service on monday, october 17, 2011.

in recognition of these inconveniences, 阿根廷vs墨西哥竞猜 is reducing residence fees at its orillia campus by $500 for the academic year (september 2011 to april 2012). in addition, all residence 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 will receive a credit to their meal plans.

"generally, our residence 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 have been extremely patient with respect to the challenges we have faced with the completion of our new residence. we appreciate their understanding of the situation and we hope that by listening to their concerns, providing timely information updates, and reducing residence fees this year, we can mitigate any further disruptions to their studies," says fedderson.

the orillia campus residence currently houses over 100 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 and, once construction is fully complete, will have a capacity for 271 世界杯2022赛程表淘汰赛 , all in single room accommodation.

the community will have an opportunity to visit and explore the university avenue campus and its new facilities at an open house event on november 10. the event will be held in conjunction with the association of universities and colleges of canada (aucc) "open doors - open knowledge" celebrations taking place across canada between november 4 - 13.
