Dear Aska
I am a high school senior from BC and I have decided to come to U of T for engineering. However, I do not fit the engineering stereotype. I’m clean, go out, and play competitive sports. I want university to be a fun experience even if I am pursuing a demanding degree. After reading college reviews, I’m intrigued by Trinity. The architechture and the atmosphere seem wonderful. I’m wondering if there is any hopes of me being accepted into the college. Will the fact that I plan on pursuing engineering jeopardize my chances? WIll I be forced into Tartu? I’m very worried about being stuck with unhygenic people for four years of my life.

Heyo Danny Tanner …. I mean Andrea,
Sure the engineers do occasionally like to paint themselves purple … which I admit doesn’t give them the greatest image. An outsider could let their minds run a little wild, but I wouldn’t say anyone considers them unhygienic.
Actually … side bar ted
5 Reasons for your skin to turn purple
1) paint … dur
2) eating too much gum when to oompa loompa’s told you not to
3) falling into a vat of purple die
4) getting punched just enough for it to be purple but not enough to get all gross with blood spots
5) letting your cute little niece and nephew have those grape sharpies and not realizing that they can overpower you in numbers
I hate to break it to you, but all of the colleges have stinky folk, lazy tards and anti-social people. Some of the funnest people are the ones who forget to shower every once and awhile (trust me, I know).
Saying that, each college sets aside a certain amount of spots for engineers and Trin does seem like a fine choice for someone who describes yourself as “clean, go out, and play competitive sports”. They wear robes and are uptight (so probably clean) as a quite harsh, and possibly inaccurate description.
Trin is was of the more selective colleges when it comes to their applicants, but it’s worth a shot. If you have to grades to get into engineering they are probably decently high enough
Cheers and love,
Aska
