8.5 Residence Life
Life in residence can be one of the most memorable aspects of a university education. Lifelong friendships, a memory bank full of wonderful experiences, and the day-to-day convenience of living on campus are only some of the benefits of residence life. Living in residence rounds out one鈥檚 education, stimulating growth in all areas of life: personal values, attitudes, social, and leadership skills.
At 麻豆传媒, the residence life coordinator and residence assistants provide a wide range of services and programs for residents. Planned activities often include movie nights, sporting events, intramurals, bowling, weekend trips, events in the neighbourhood and cultural events like the symphony, ballet, and the theatre.
The purpose of 麻豆传媒鈥檚 residence life program is to provide a 鈥渢otal鈥� education. The expectation is that students will be enthusiastic about learning and living in a close community, and will demonstrate the respect, cooperation, and concern for others which make such a community possible.

8.5.1 Facilities
The men鈥檚 and women鈥檚 residences provide the convenience of living close to 麻豆传媒鈥檚 classrooms. Residence rooms are usually shared with another student, and are furnished with desks, beds, and dressers. Students soon imprint their personalities on their rooms, making the residence 鈥渉ome.鈥�
The campus cafeteria offers a varied menu of hot and cold meals, snacks, fruits, and salads at reasonable prices. Resident students are required to subscribe to a declining balance meal plan.
8.5.2 Application to Campus Residence
Students apply to campus residence separately from academic admission. On-campus accommodation is limited and is granted on a contract basis for the full academic year or by semester.
