“Hi my name is April Morton and I lived in residence from 1982-1985. This was one of the greatest experiences I had while attending University. It was hugely beneficial due to the fact that I was from a rural community and I was not as familiar with the city. This reduced my stress a lot as I lived right on campus and could have full access without trying to find my way around the city, too. More importantly I meet so many fabulous people who later became good friends. Due to the variety of people living in residence there was always someone around to help with assignments, answer any questions etc. The party’s were fun too!! It was a very memorable experience and I would highly recommend it. This new facility is so beautiful and spacious with great lounge areas. This way you are right downtown, close to facilities and you can take in all the great Wesmen teams. We would often all go over and watch the volleyball and basketball teams play. It truly is an experience of a lifetime and adds a whole other dimension to University life and you develop long lasting friendships!!”
