The fair <br />was organized by the UO Office of Student Life and attended by more than 2,000 students transitioning to housing off- <br />campus. Property managers, City staff and other community partners provided information at booths and workshops on <br />housing and transportation options, utility services, recycling, rental housing code, renter rights and responsibilities, <br />finding roommates and good neighbor behavior. <br /> <br />Neighborhood Services staffed a booth with leaders from the West University, South University, Harlow, and Downtown <br />Neighborhood Associations providing information on campus-area neighborhoods and engaging in conversations about <br />the advantages and responsibilities of off-campus living. Neighborhood leaders (including UO students) facilitated two <br />workshops that promoted green and safe living, and how to maintain good relations with established neighbors. A festive <br />atmosphere was promoted with raffle prizes and fun activities such as the popular Wheel of Wisdom that challenged <br />student knowledge of rules of conduct for living off-campus. Other City staff represented the Rental Housing Program, <br />Eugene Police Department Crime Prevention Unit and Public Works Transportation Planning.
