Residence Events and Programs One-on-One Meetings Your RA will hold four one-on-one meetings with you this year. Your RA will ask positive, open-ended questions that will help you optimize your educational experience and achieve your dreams, goals, and potentials. It is a student-centred approach that will allow our staff to assist you in achieving academic and well-being as you transition to university. Brain Bucks Brain Bucks is a collaborative academic initiative between the King's residence life program and various departments and services at King’s. Residents collect Brain Bucks by demonstrating academic excellence, and using designated academic resources on campus to achieve their academic best. You can redeem your Brain Bucks for monthly prize draws and at the Brain Bucks auction at the end of each term – lots of great prizes to bid on! Brain Bucks Study Blowout The Annual Brain Bucks Study Blowout takes place near the end of first term classes. Residents receive 5 Brain Bucks for every study hour. There are unit prizes and individual prizes to be won. It’s a lot of fun and a great way to prepare for mid-term exams! King’s @ Night King’s @ Night is your solution for weeknight events and activities offered specifically for residents. Most events will be free of charge, taking place between Sunday and Wednesday nights. Expect a variety of entertaining activities, including movie nights, arts and craft events, interactive games, contests, and sport and video game tournaments.
