Move-in weekend at Nipissing University Residence
It was a busy weekend at Nipissing University’s campus as students moved into the three different residence buildings.
"It’s exciting, all the people here seem super friendly and great, and the atmosphere and environment is just wonderful. Everybody is excited and nervous to move in but I think it will be a great year," said second-year student Owen Woodall.
"It is really nice, my don on my floor is really sweet. They have activities planned online for us, which is really fun. We got to meet some new people outside and get together," said first year-student Talia Florence.
University officials told CTV News students safety is the number one priority and said all students living in residence have COVID-19 protocol they must follow.
"We’re not allowing anyone to move between residences or even bring in outside guests," said Cole Maddin, a residence don – also known as a resident assistant who helps students living on campus.
"Here we’re at the Chancellors House, only Chancellor students are allowed being here. Even if you’re in another residence, you can’t come in here. Even dons can’t go in between residences," he said.
The school year begins in just over a week, and recently, Nipissing announced anyone attending the campus must be fully vaccinated.
