Caitlin Blake has been Ohio State ATI’s Applewood Village Apartments Manager for two years. Ohio State ATI has apartment style living. This means that students have the opportunity to live in one, two, or three-bedroom apartments complete with a kitchen, living room, and bathroom. Caitlin’s role impacts our students by providing a safe and comfortable environment that helps them learn and grow and discover who they are outside of the classroom.
As far as advice, Caitlin is full of it! The following is all advice that Caitlin would give a prospective student!
- College is a time to figure out who you are! Be open to learning new things, meeting new people, and making hard choices. She says, “Sometimes your plans or your major change, sometimes you find a hobby you are really passionate about, and a lot of times you figure out the person you want to become.”
- Fill out your housing contract as early as possible. Information about your housing contract will come to your new Buckeyemail account.
- Turn in your roommate groups by June 1. If you have certain people you know you want to live with, be sure to join their roommate group or create a group, and make sure that everything is in by June 1.
- Don’t worry too much about where you end up getting placed in housing. She says, “You will have a chance to meet so many people and find your friends. Sometimes it is best to room with people you aren’t already close to, so you can still cherish the times you get to hang out together.”
Caitlin’s favorite part about Ohio State ATI is our students. She loves working with students and hearing what they have learned in their classes. She also likes to see them take advantage of all that Ohio State ATI has to offer, including housing programs, events at the Student Activities Center, and on-campus organizations!
