Hey!
I’ll be applying next year to UofT and I’m already freaking out!!! I live in Toronto but I’m afraid that living at home would mean missing a lot of fun after-class stuff and opportunities to make new friends. Even though I live close enough to campus to make a 40min bus commute, would staying in residence, even if just for first year, be better?!?!?!?!
Thanks!

Hey hey,
I’m scared for your health if you’re freaking out this early in the game! Maybe you do need to stray from the nest.?
Residence is an awesome way to meet people. Sure, your college will have events to help integrate the commuters, but?its a lot easier to?just be living in the res. Even if its just for one year, living away from home ?is an opportunity that?I think all young folks should take.
Side Bar Ted -?5?things learnt living away from home
1) How to make an?indoor clothing line out of hemp because you?don’t have the $2 it takes?to dry your clothes.
2)?When vegetables start to go limp you can?put?them in a bowl of water to revive them enough to eat.
3)?Studenst shouldn’t have white walls in their houses.
4)?When parents tell you?not to jump on the couch as a kid, it’s?because they really?can break. Couches/futons are not invincible to jumping/dancing
5) Stealing … kidding … well not really … kidding again … or am?I …
So yah, go for it! Why not? If it really sucks, move home 🙂
forever unstresed,
