Living & Working on Campus

Transcript

Let’s say hello to Will, a junior majoring in English from San Antonio, Texas, who will tell us more about what it’s like to live and work on campus. At TLU, many students also hold on campus jobs that allow them to gain valuable experience while earning extra money. William, what do you got?

– Hey everyone, I know a thing or two about living on college campus. There are so many benefits to living on TLU campus, including making lifelong friends, improving academically, and taking advantage of leadership opportunities in student organizations and clubs. I always knew I wanted to get involved on the college campus and also support first year students in the transition to college. I was able to become an admissions ambassador in my first year, a resident assistant within my second, two on campus positions that allow me to connect with current and incoming students. As a resident assistant, I’m assigned to a floor in the residence hall, and it’s my job to regularly meet with the students who live on my floor to plan activities for them and to address any questions or issues they may have. I also receive a free room and meal plan for being a resident assistant, which helps makes college more affordable. No matter your interest or major, there’s always a welcome community to reach you. You’ll have no problem making new friends and finding a second home. That’s all for me for now. Back to you, Alex.

– Thanks, Will. You’re providing important support for students who are living on campus. TLU prides itself on being a close knit community, and resident assistants like will play a key role in creating that sense of community for all students. Thanks for showing us what it’s like to live and work on campus.
