In order to carry out our educational mission, the WMU Apartments Office, along with the university, aspires to create and maintain conditions that are conducive to learning. With this in mind, Community Living Expectations have been developed to help you and your family become academically and personally successful.
Community living expectations balance the rights of the individual with the rights of the community.
As a resident, you share the common areas of the apartment complexes and are responsible for helping maintain them and keeping them safe and clean. Your enjoyment of life in your WMU apartment will depend to a large extent on the positive relationship you develop with your roommate. One of the building blocks of relationships is respecting the rights of the other person. The right to read and study in one's apartment free from undue interferences. Unreasonable noise and other distractions inhibit the exercise of this right.
