Hey aska, I’m a second year going back to res next year. I was at Whitney this year and loved it but don’t think I’ll get back in. Do you have any next best suggestions? My main concern is that it’s still social, like I’d like to continue drinking the usual 4 times a week. Also do you think I’ll still be able to meet people in residence as a second year, I know a lot of second years in my building don’t seem to come out much. Thanks

I read the Hunger Games … phew … I just needed to?confess that.
And like my phase of watching only Zombieland and Walking Dead, my daily functions are all being related to how I can survive.?
My first thought was … drinking 4 days a week won’t help you in the Hunger Games, but the odds of that happening are very slim and even if they did then you are probably older than the tribute age bracket.
?Here are all of your options as an upper-year student looking for residence … I’m assuming they just expect you to reapply to the same residence you are in now, so you can just follow the below instructions.
How to Apply for Residence as an Upper-year or Transfer Student
Please note:? these instructions are for students not currently living in residence – if you are currently living in residence and wish to re-apply, contact your residence office.?
1. Explore your residence options.
The following residences consider applications from upper-year and transfer students:
- Chestnut Residence
- Loretto College
- New College
- St. Michael’s College
- University College
- Victoria University
- Woodsworth College
Don’t forget to review the features of the different residences and explore the residence comparison chart!
2. Apply to each residence you are interested in.
In order to be considered, you must register yourself on the U of T Residence Waiting List. You might also want to consider applying directly to the residences that most interest you (with the exceptions of New, & Woodsworth colleges as they consider applications exclusively from the U of T Residence Waiting List). As residence space is often very limited, it is highly recommended that you also consider applying to some of the independent residences located near campus and/or investigating off-campus housing.
3. Follow up with each residence.
Residence spaces are generally reserved for first-year students and upper-year students who are currently living in residence ? you will only be considered for residence if space permits after these groups have been accommodated.?The earliest residence offers will be made to new upper-year and transfer students is late June.?Be sure to follow up with each residence to inquire about your status, offers will continue to be made throughout the summer as space permits.
Word on the street is that you are currently in the party residence. Chestnut is known to have some party years/floors, but I’ve also heard some snore stories from there.
If you’re willing to drink 4 days a week, I can almost gaurentee there will be someone around to make friends with at any residence
Go forth and maintain your drinking stamina!
?always prepared for battle,
aska
