  • Increase students’ knowledge of tenant rights and responsibilities.
  • Provide students with practical strategies to establish positive relationships with their neighbors.
  • Introduce students to conflict resolution techniques.
  • Increase students’ knowledge of local laws and ordinances related to neighborhood living, including underage drinking laws.
  • Enhance students’ knowledge of how to host and/or attend a safe, hassle-free party.
  • Deepen students’ self awareness and identity as neighborhood residents.
  • Increase students’ awareness of community resources that support the responsibilities of neighborhood living and increase quality of life.

    Off-Campus WWU is a project of Prevention and Wellness Services at Western.
