Dear aska,
I’ve applied to U of T, with Vic being my first choice. Assuming I’m accepted to Vic, how are residences assigned? I want to live in Rowell
Jackman because I want to have a kitchen in my room, and I much favour suite style over traditional style. That being said, I know Rowell is a
popular spot for upper year students, and if it was up to pure chance, I’d probably end up at one of the Burwash halls.
So my question to you is how am I assigned my residence? Is it a merit based application? Do I get a choice? Is it randomly assigned by lottery?
Do they try to accomodate everyone’s first choice?
Thanks a lot, you’re a super helpful resource 🙂

Hey Suiteee
I just contacted my super secret informant at Vic and they said that the applicant will be given a choice after they are admitted. Apparently the option is given in a drop-down box in the residence application … so be aware of the drop-down.
They also said that Rowell is a popular choice for upper-years just because of the suite style, but first years are still welcome to choose there to live.
happy living,
aska
