With the main focus being... "what's safer for the students.."

Andrew moneymaker, director of housing at the w, says campus life will be much different this semester because of covid19..

Sot - andrew moneymaker - director of housing - muw "we have assigned all students a room to themselves which typically we do have doubles we do have singles.

But for their safety we have given everybody a double room to practice the social distancing.

We've gone through all of our common areas we've wrapped up furniture and put it in storage again to space it out to eliminate those large gatherings."

And for those students moving in on campus?

"our move in is going to be pretty much contact-less.

Students will come in, come up to our check-in window where the ra's will already have their stuff together and they will basically slide their packet to them with all their information in there their room key, so there's no like real physical contact with that" as for the campus life?

Moneymaker says the university still do their part in keeping students entertained.

Sot - andrew moneymaker - director of housing - muw "we will still do our programming in the halls the biggest difference is it will be more virtual than us gathering in groups and doing something fun."

The fall semester here at the w kicks off august 17th..
