We hope everyone is enjoying and loving their experience here so far. As always, we’ll be having some great events this month, so don’t forget to bring your roommates and your punch cards for some fun. If you have any ideas or suggestions for events that you would like to see happen, let your Community Assistant know. For all students, don’t forget to continue this semester strong and study hard for upcoming midterms. Also, look for a visit from your favorite CA.

Happy October!
We hope you’ve had a good start to the semester! Everyone should be settled in by now and ready to take on the school year. October will be packed with events and a special Resident Appreciation Week planned from October 2–6, so be sure to look at the events section in this newsletter.
Renewal rates and new lease rates are ready! Please stop by the front desk so we can answer any questions you have in regard to renewing your lease — we’re happy to help.
Get involved. Get ahead.
Did you know students who are involved outside of the classroom are more successful in their academic pursuits? If you haven’t already done so, we encourage you to find opportunities to get involved on campus and in the local community. Your campus’ student activities office is a great place to start to find out about clubs, organizations, and campus events. You can also connect with our team to find ways to get connected. Whether it’s the chess club or intramural football, or volunteering at a local shelter, we would love to help you find ways to get involved both at your Campus Advantage community and on campus.
