Description
LOCUS (Laurier Off-Campus University Students) is a program designed to aid the transition into University for first year students living off-campus at Wilfrid Laurier University - Waterloo Campus. It will provide first year students with academic, social, and personal support to ensure that off-campus students will not miss out on the on-campus experience if they decide not to live in residence.
Like a residence floor has a senior student to guide and mentor the first year students, LOCUS has an Off-Campus Advisor (OCA) that does the same. The OCA does monthly programming for their students, holds a weekly office hour on campus, and is there to answer any questions their students may have on school, academics, the city or just life in general.
Maybe living off-campus in your first year was what you had expected and always planned for. On the other hand, maybe it wasn’t exactly what you had hoped for. Regardless, LOCUS is here to make that choice even more rewarding and allow you to really enjoy your experience in first year. By living off campus, you are joining approximately 700-800 other first year students, and this is where LOCUS becomes important.
LOCUS offers students the chance to get involved and stay connected to the Laurier campus!
