UFV Housing

Orientation

You are probably wondering about your new home, what to expect when you arrive, and how you are going to settle in and make new friends. You might even feel a little overwhelmed by all the things you need to know and do. We want you to feel comfortable and secure in your new home. That is why we strongly recommend you attend our student housing orientation Otterly at Home. 

Join us and become Otterly at Home!

Otterly at Home is our housing orientation program for students moving into Lá:lem te Baker for the first time. It is designed for students new to living in student housing or on their own. We have lots of useful information for you - even if you have lived on campus at another university.

Learn what to expect when you arrive, how to interpret your housing contract, what household items you will need to bring or purchase for your new home, what kind of programming and student supports we provide, tips for living with a new human, where you will cook, do your laundry, and socialize.

Our Winter 2024 Otterly at Home program includes:

  • A series of videos in talk show format that provide you with practical information about living in student housing. You will receive an email by December 11th with instructions on how to access the videos.
  • In person, interactive adulting seminars.
  • A Winter Social and Lip Sync Battle

Please check your student email for more information and instructions on how to access the Otterly at Home Show and registering for the Winter Social and Lip Sync Battle.
