Each house has two housekeepers who work through the week. They are helpful and will assist new families with orientation.
Tip: Label all personal belongings with your son's name (use a label maker, iron-on personalized labels, masking tape, permanent marker, etc.). We recommend labelling everything from his cellphone and alarm clock to his towels, shoes, winter jacket, and socks. Things get misplaced sometimes and the more roommates there are, the messier it can get!
