Wednesday in the Hall of Fame room in the Chiles Center, UP neighborhood landlords met with Residence Life, Public Safety, the University Park Neighborhood Association and a property manager to discuss how to help students transition to off-campus housing. One attendee suggested the idea of hosting seminars to educate students who are moving off campus for the first time about how to manage the change. Also discussed was the possibility of UP requiring freshman and sophomores to live on campus, and how to draft leases for student renters. According to the Master Plan, UP intends to have 75 percent of students living on campus. At right, Director of Residence Life Mike Walsh addresses the group.
