      A
      new
      year
      is
      here
      and
      with
      it
      the
     
     
      opening
      of
      UPEI’s
      new
      residence,
      the
     
     
      aptly
      named
      ‘new
      residence’.
      While
     
     
      some
      students
      were
      pretty
      much
     
     
      moved
      in
      at
      the
      time
      this
      article
      was
     
     
      written,
      many
      more
      were
      still
      waiting
     
     
      for
      a
      chance
      to
      swipe
      their
      keycards
     
     
      and
      sleep
      on
      their
      much
      larger
      beds.
     
    

    
     
      The
      $11
      million
      dollar
      facility,
     
     
      after
      a
      six
      month
      extension,
      is
      finally
     
     
      opening
      its
      doors
      to
      students.
      Hosting
     
     
      a
      new
      keycard
      security
      system,
      where
     
     
      students
      have
      to
      swipe
      to
      get
      in
      and
     
     
      out,
      along
      with
      new
      washers
      and
     
     
      dryers
      and
      everything
      else,
      most
      of
      the
     
     
      students
      we
      spoke
      to
      were
      happy
      to
     
     
      be
      there.
     
    

    
     
      “T
      love
      it,”
      said
      Nick
      Jessome,
     
     
      a
      1“
      year
      arts
      student.
      “It’s
      huge
     
     
      (compared
      to
      Marion).
      I
      love
      having
     
     
      my
      Own
      room.”
     
    

    
     
      With
      separate,
      large
      bedrooms,
     
     
      double
      or
      54
      inch
      beds
      and
      having
      to
     
     
      share
      your
      bathroom
      with
      only
      one
     
     
      person,
      the
      New
      Residence
      is
      a
     
     
      definite
      step
      up
      from
      the
      aging
      Marion
     
     
      Hall.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      High
      ceilings
      and
      cool
      colours
     
     
      add
      to
      the
      large
      sense
      of
      size
      that
     
     
      permeates
      the
      new
      facility.
      It
      also
     
     
      connects
      directly
      to
      the
      cafeteria,
      so
     
     
      new
      residence
      students
      don’t
      have
      to
     
     
      leave
      the
      building
      to
      eat.
     
    

    
     
      Although
      the
      fridges,
     
     
      microwaves,
      TVs
      and
      internet
      weren’t
     
    
   
   
    
     
      installed
      yet,
      it
      was
      a
      gaff
      on
      the
      part
     
     
      of
      the
      phone
      company
      that
      kept
     
     
      students
      from
      moving
      in
      right
      away.
     
     
      Without
      phones
      in
      the
      rooms,
      the
     
     
      university
      would
      be
      liable
      if
      anything
     
     
      were
      to
      happen,
      like
      a
      fire
      or
      polar
     
     
      bear
      attack.
     
    

    
     
      While
      many
      students
      were
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      waiting
      since
      September
      to
      move
      in,
     
     
      Jessome
      said
      he
      was
      glad
      the
      wait
      was
     
     
      over.
     
    

    
     
      “Oh
      yes,
      I’ve
      been
      waiting
      a
     
     
      while,”
      said
      Jessome.
     
    

    
     
      “It
      was
      definitely
      worth
      the
     
     
      wait.”
