Student Housing When Things Don't Go As Planned

Student Housing

​Dear Caseworker,

I am very upset and unsure where to go for help. Yesterday, my friend Carlos and I got into a fight at Yura Mudang Housing. I loaned Carlos some money which he has not paid back. Carlos got angry when I asked him to pay me back as soon as possible and approached me aggressively and was yelling at me. I pushed him because he was in my personal space, then he hit me and we got into a fight. Witnesses called security and we were separated from one another. I have to meet with the Residential Life Officer tomorrow, and have been told that I will be given a Termination of Licence Agreement letter. I don’t know what to do. Can you help me?

Thanks,

Peter (Anonymous)
