Common Fire Alarm Triggers
January and February flew by, and somehow we’ve already landed in March. New month, same mission: making sure you feel good, safe, and at home here at CityCampus. Lately, though, we’ve had quite a few fire alarms going off—most of them caused by small things that can easily be avoided.
So as we step into March, we just want to remind you of a few simple points that help keep the building calm, safe, and free from those unexpected late‑night rangs.
HAIR DRYERS - Heat and steam from hair dryers that are active right under the fire alarm in your room can sometimes trigger the alarm.
LONG SHOWERS - Please remember to ventilate your room (open windows) when showering, to avoid excessive steam triggering the alarm.
DEEP FRYING - Frying with lots of oil (shallow or deep frying) is forbidden. This is a high fire risk and creates a lot of smoke which will trigger the fire alarm.
OPEN FLAMES - Lighting candles, burning incense, or smoking inside is forbidden. Please do remember a fine will be applied in case of non-compliance with this rule.
Thank you for your understanding,
The CityCampus Team

New Trial for Rubbish Management: Testing a 3‑Cluster System at CityCampus
At CityCampus, we are always looking for ways to improve your daily experience and create a cleaner, more enjoyable living environment. With this goal in mind, we are launching a new waste‑management trial starting in April, involving three selected clusters.
Why This New Initiative?
Maintaining a clean and pleasant shared space is essential for everyone’s well‑being. While our cleaning staff already ensures regular maintenance, there are days when rubbish can accumulate between their visits. To address this, we want to introduce a simple, community‑driven solution that encourages responsibility and strengthens daily habits of cleanliness.
How the Trial Will Work?
Beginning in April, each of the three clusters will follow a rotating schedule for taking out the rubbish.
• One student per rotation will be responsible for bringing down the trash on days when the cleaning staff is not present.
• A clear weekly program will be provided so everyone knows when it’s their turn.
• The goal is not to add pressure, but to create a shared rhythm that benefits the entire community.
What We Hope to Achieve?
This trial is designed to help you experience your living space differently. By involving residents directly, we aim to:
• Improve the overall cleanliness of the clusters
• Encourage shared responsibility
• Strengthen community habits
• Enhance your daily comfort and quality of life
Sometimes, small changes can make a big difference. We believe this initiative will help create a cleaner, more harmonious environment for everyone.
