HI Aska,
I want to go to my college’s formal but my commute takes two hours so i’d have to leave really early. I’ve heard that trin has rooms you can rent out for a night for cheap ($15-$30 I think) but you have to book it the day of so it seems rather risky to me. Also, I do not go to trin and I would assume that, trin being trin, being from a different college would pose a problem. Do you know of any other residences that might rent out rooms?
Thanks so much!

Dear sleepless in Toronto,
Trin does allow one night sleep ins, but only in the summer session.
Here’s the good thing: I’m not going to let you freeze to death in the knee high snow banks of Toronto.
Here are some options
1) look here under the Short Term Stays. They do list residences, but I checked out a few of them and they said at least a week to a month for the minimum stay. But who really keeps websites up to date nowadays, so calling the colleges are always an option.
2) the temporary accommodations list – This has a bunch of one night stand options. I would suggest staying away from Jarvis.
Finally, your homework is to watch the How I Met Your Mother episode: The Sexless In-keeper. If you can pull this off, you’re are golden with an evening free from rent and possibly a late night snack.
Forever and Always,
Aska
