I realize that when they tell stories and give examples and it's all based on their family. Vanderloop's residence and role afford him a blend of privacy and accessibility. The central location of his small three-room apartment makes it easy for students to find him. The separation of the apartment from the other buildings in the complex gives Vanderloop the measure of privacy that he needs. The separation of roles between faculty and village advisors means Vanderloop has nights to himself.
Students turn to the village advisors when they get locked out or have other problems at night.
For Vanderloop, this has been a rare and exciting opportunity to get to know students and to offer them a valuable service. When it rolls around, take advantage of it.
