There is no stove in your suite, keep that in mind when planning meals. There is a community kitchen on the 1st floor that you can use, I NEVER used it during my year in residence. Laundry is also on the 1st floor I believe, I always did mine off-site. If you've done the virtual tour on the Residence website, it's smaller than it appears, you don't have a lot of kitchen space. Rooms are a decent size, I felt mostly comfortable in mine. You're free to rearrange your living space, so long as you put it back EXACTLY as it was when you arrived. I attempted to bring a futon for an additional place to sit for my room, since all you have is your bed and chair for seats. Additionally, you MUST sign in your guests, and can have a maximum of 2 guests at a time.

Rooms are given inspected prior to you moving in, and on the residence portal you're required to agree with the things that are reported.

Get your One-Card and get your bus-pass stamp with it, learn the bus routes for the area, know how to get to some important places like your bank, the mall, grocery stores (there is a grocery bus, I forget when it runs), and any other place you think you might want to know how to get to.

If you've got any other questions, I can do my best to answer them.
