Here are some friendly reminders regarding general rules, tips, and expectations to help you become accustomed to your home away from home while abroad!
Noise:
In order to avoid disturbing the neighbors or roommates, please use headphones when listening to music, or keep the volume low, and please keep your voices down.
Safety:
- You should lock the apartment door at all times. Also, when leaving your hotel room, make sure the windows are closed and locked. Neither the study abroad company nor the housing company will not be responsible for any stolen items.
- It is strictly forbidden to throw any object or substance from windows, balconies, terraces or roofs. This includes keys, cigarette butts or anything else big or small.
Guests and Alcohol Policies:
- Smoking is not allowed anywhere inside your hotel room.
- The consumption of drugs, as well as keeping or dealing with them, is absolutely prohibited
Financial Liability:
- You will have to pay for any damage done to the hotel room (doors, walls, floors, furniture, etc.).
Helpful tips for living with other people:
- Respect your roommates and the other people that live in the building.
- Remember that you are not on a college campus and not in your own home. Respect the property and get out of the “college campus” mentality.
- Talk to your roommates if they do something that bothers you. Talking it through is the easiest way to solve a small problem before it gets bigger.
- Talk to the onsite staff if a problem arises and you cannot work it out with your roommates.
