\u201cWhen we surveyed students about their residence experience, upper-year students like to have a little more freedom, like to pay month to month, and like to live with other upper-year and grad students. But they also would like more opportunities to remain in residence on campus, allowing them to enhance their student experience,\u201d said Jamie Fleming, Director of Residences, \u201cThis is an opportunity to provide the students what they want.\u201d<\/p>\n
Brock opened Gateway Suites at the corner of Sir Isaac Brock Way and John MacDonnell Street last September, and the 86-bed building is completely full this year.<\/p>\n
Starting for the 2017-18 academic year students in their second year and higher will be able to live in other nearby residences. In fact, students can extend their academic year contract to the Spring\/Summer months at a reduced rate beginning this summer.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re going to expand those offerings into Quarry View. We have the opportunity to provide significantly more space for upper-year students and grad students if the demand is there, and we think it is,\u201d says Fleming, \u201cWe are also featuring \u201call-in\u201d billing, which means no additional monthly costs for wireless internet, utilities, cable, and parking.\u201d<\/p>\n
Quarry View residences have four bedrooms in each unit and students will be able to select who they would like to share a unit with.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf they don\u2019t have a full suite, that\u2019s fine, we\u2019ll put them with others, but what they\u2019ll know is that they\u2019ll be assigned to live with other upper-year students,\u201d Fleming says.<\/p>\n
