With six outbreaks in less than a week, Western University students’ ‘res-life’ has been cut short.
Western is asking students to move their things out of dorms if possible. This comes after outbreaks were declared in Ontario Hall (Mar. 25), Saugeen-Maitland Hall (Mar. 26), Elgin Hall (Mar. 30), Medway-Sydenham Hall (Mar. 31), Delaware Hall (Apr. 2), Essex Hall (Apr. 4).
“No one’s at fault, because no one wants to be in this sort of situation. But, should the school still have people in residence? That’s kind of what it boils down to. Sometimes you can’t help but think, they are the ones sort of allowing it to progress to the stage that it’s getting to” First-year student, Charlie Smith says.
