A Message to Students Living Off Campus

from 教务长, 克里斯托弗·沃

如你所知，圣. 可以买滚球的正规平台 requires "all full-time first and second year students (defined as those with fewer than 60 credits) to live in a university residence hall unless the student lives at his/her permanent residence with their parent or legal guardian within 30 miles of campus" (Student Handbook). Those falling outside these criteria are able to select between on and off campus living.

For those choosing to live off campus, please know this is a privilege that comes with certain responsibilities. 作为St的代表. 可以买滚球的正规平台, you are expected at all times to conduct yourself consistently with our mission, 愿景, guiding principles and values. 此外, you are expected to inform yourself regarding local policies, 条例, and laws that govern respectful citizenship. 协助, the 邻里关系 Council developed the following 10 Tips to Being a Good Neighbor.

Ten Tips to Being a Good Neighbor

1. 见见你的邻居. Introduce yourself to and develop relationships with those who live around you. Doing so can help solve concerns if and when they arise.
2. 提供帮助. In the spirit of Bee the Difference Day, offer to assist neighbors with carrying in the groceries, 零工, 叶小, 还有除雪.
3. Park properly and respectfully. Use property driveways and street access respectfully. Many neighbors do not like others parking in front of their property so ask permission if you have a need to do so.
4. 尊重不同的时间表. While you might not have class until 10 a.m., your neighbor may have to be at work by 6 a.m. City ordinance holds that any noise heard beyond property limits can be considered disruptive and in violation of code. City of Davenport Ordinances
5. 安静地开车和走路. When driving through the neighborhoods, turn radios down. 走路时, use sidewalks rather than cutting across properties and keep your voice levels low so as not to be disruptive.
6. 邀请你的邻居. 请一些朋友过来? Let your neighbors know and how to contact you if they have concerns. Better yet, invite them to drop by.
7. 不要过度占用一个单位. City ordinance prohibits more than five (5) unrelated people from residing at the same residence. Chapter 562A Uniform Residential Landlord & 租户法律.
8. 了解你的城市服务. Review the city guides on city services and support services that are available to assist you.
9. Know how to put your trash out. The city provides pick‐up days by area each week. Additionally, they provide special service days and limitations on what will be picked up.
10. 保持房屋清洁. 妥善保管您的财产, 无论是自有的还是租用的, enhances the overall neighborhood and says you care about those around you. This includes shoveling sidewalks, mowing lawns, raking, and bagging leaves.
