Behind the Doors of East Village
WELCOME TO EAST VILLAGE!!!
East Village at TRU appears to be the perfect representation of student life from the outside. The buildings are modern, the common areas are crowded, and students are moving between their dorm rooms, study spaces, and classes all the time. Living in residence is an important part of university life for many first-year and international students.
However, each student may experience dorm life differently. Some people experience difficulties like homesickness, loneliness, or the stress of adapting to a new environment, while others quickly form friendships and feel a part of the school community.
Learning independence, establishing new habits, and adjusting to shared spaces with other students are all common outcomes of living away from home for the first time. Some residents establish friendships and a sense of belonging to university life in East Village. Others may need some time to adjust to a totally unfamiliar setting.
Two students discuss their individual experiences living in residence at TRU in this audio story. They give a closer look at what it’s truly like to live in East Village by describing both the good and difficult parts of dorm life via their personal experiences.
