The Time Has Come – Domination of The Colleges

Hello, I have a question; I was just wondering how many colleges does the St. George campus consist of and what are their names?

———————————————

Dear either Eager Grade 12 Student, or Little Late First Year Student

The time has come for these colleges to finally be explained, and have you hit the motherload because I’m about to blow your mind (figuratively … and potentially literally) with a vast amount of infomation.

To answer this question straight up: there are 7 Colleges:

Innis College, New College, St. Micheal’s, Trinity, University, Victoria, Woodsworth.

Now if you want to know about each one, take a virtual tour, find the inside so you look cool when you call them by their shortforms … please … read on young vulnerable students.

Facts:
– Every Arts and Science student is apart of a College, whether you live in residence or live off campus

– The colleges DO NOT affect you academically; no matter what college? your associated with you can take any of the Arts and Science classes offered.

– NO there is not one specific college with really hot guys/gals

– YES there are duds, stinky folk, and hermits at all colleges

Let’s rank these bad boys:

There’s ton of things to consider when applying, your interests, size of college, which one had the best funnels and most promiscuous members. Check out the ranking site (yah U of T has thought of everything) and see all the specifics you should consider.

Keep in mind: the smallest Colleges will only consider you if they rank them number one (snots); so Innis, Trinity and Victoria College

Trinity and Victoria Colleges also make their decision based on appliciant profiles.

Academic cut-offs also change from year to year based on size and range of demand

If wanting to live in Woodsworth Residence, it must be ranked number one

The Ominous Colleges:

Innis (Innis College)

Perk: One of the smaller colleges; meaning smaller lines for OSAP (trust me … no one wants to wait two hours to pick it up, two hours to get it processed at the post office and another 7-14 days to get in your bank account … starving students need their money stat).

New (New College)

Perk: uuuh it’s relatively new, well in relation to the rest of the school, so theres lots of cement in the resedences … is that a perk, i dunno.

St. Mikes (St. Micheal’s College)

Perk: If your Catholic, this residence will make your parents happy, while still allowing you to have fun. If your not Catholic and just like stained glass, they welcome people from all religious (or non-religious) backgrounds.

Trin (Trinity College)

Perk: You get to live out your dream of being Ron Weasley. The residence looks like a scene from the Great Hall, AND you wear robes to your meals (seriously, I’m not messing with you). Trin is one of the smallest and hardest to get into, so for those who want to look fancy you can try for this one.

UC (University College)

Perk: Looking like a castle, but one of the larger college (so less intense to get into); residences are right on St. George; solid social life.

Vic (Victoria University)

Perk: Margaret Atwood, and Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson (who the hell is that?) are both were from Vic. They have my personal fav library E.J Pratt Library (screw the harsh cold nature of Robarts, except the 9th and 12th floors).

Woodsworth (yaah, they’re still just Woodsworth … or we can try to start Woody as their nickname)

Perk: New residence on the corner of Bloor and St.George, modern furniture and plenty of windows (its pretty much a glass building… isn’t there a saying about living in a glass house, maybe its different for apartments)

Don’t say I never supply you with links

Phew.

Love your dearest companion,

    Hey there,

    I currently have a 92 average (not final yet), do you think Trinity seems too far fetched and Victoria would be better as my first choice, or should I still shoot for the big moon? Btw I am from Alberta, so I have diplomas to complete that greatly impact my final marks. 🙁

    Desparately in need of your prompt assistance!
