ok, so from what i’ve heard, UC sounds like the best college (by best, i mean not religious, stuck-up, or too weird) and i’m kind of regretting my choice of Woodworth. it seems to lack character. i know it’s a little late now, but can anyone convince me that i made the right decision, or am i just going to have to make lots of friends at UC so i have an excuse for spending all my time there?
thanks a lot.
Good-evening passengers. Thank you for choosing Assumption Airlines as your first choice airline for your trip to first year university. As you exit the craft, you’ll notice to the left some rumours and cattiness. On the right there’s some unsightly bitter people whom you are more than welcome to take advice from. Once you’ve had your fill of whatever new persona you’ve developed over the first few months, you can use your return ticket to visit your glory days in high school. Enjoy your new life!
You will make friends. You will make friends. You will make friends. Is that enough reassurance for you?
None of the colleges are really stuck up, or too religious, or too weird. I mean, yes, there ARE stigmas attached to each one, but it’s what you make of the situation, oserlay. And it’s not hard to make friends at other colleges either. Woodsworth has better rooms than UC. UC just happens to have more arty kids inhabiting its buildings. Also, I’ve made some killer friends within my college, and at other colleges too (if you need concrete examples from someone *ahem* experienced).
I’m sure you’ve heard that St. Mike’s is totally religious and lame. Fiction! The people I’ve met from there know how to party the best (though they do have mass available for you, if you want).
Innis and New are full of engineering douche bags. Fact. However, that’s only 40% of Innis. I can’t say much for New, but there are some really rad people at both.
Trinity is just horrifying. Fact and Fiction? Whatever. Untie the knot in your panties, put your grown-up pants on, and get ready for a universally feared thing called “frosh week”.
Now, if you do really, really want to change colleges, I would write a letter to the registrar’s office at University College, and then after hearing from them, write a letter to Woodsworth explaining your new change of heart. Just be patient because the finishing students and ones who are peeing their pants over summer school are harassing their advisers at this point and time in the year.

I'm from Trinity.
Stay at Woodsworth, or UC for that matter. You’ll make friends.
But you, m’dear, can stay away from Trin. Rah.

Here’s a good reason to stay in Woodsworth:
You know there are only three other people using your bathroom. And no one wants to piss off the others.
Here’s a fairy tail in a not-so-distant college:
For some strange reason, this year, there seemed to be a person in said-college at D.W. Residence who decided it would be much more fun to go to the bathroom stall and defecate not in the bowl, not partially on the seat but rather completely in the corner of the stall closest towards the neighboring stall. It was obvious the act was done on purpose, because the poop was ‘wrapped’ neatly in a pile like a cartoon poop. This happened on more than one occasion. If that wasn’t bad enough it once happened on a Friday. This means the cleaning staff would not do anything until the coming Monday morning.
Things couldn’t possibly have gotten worse right? Right?
Wrong. Monday was a civic holiday. so for four days… a Magical aroma filled the halls even though the bathroom window was wide open.
The Moral of the story is:
Be happy you know who’s using the toilet. At least there is some trust there.

Woodsworth is a very good rez man. I don’t know what you’ve heard, but it is set in the hotel style, and each room has 6 single bedrooms and a common kitchen/living area. So not only are you living with 5 other guys, if you don’t like them, you can always retreat to your own single room. The hotel style really is quite elaborate, and once you visit the other rezs you will glad at how much space and privacy you have. As far as the people are concerned, it is too much misjudgment to stereotype the characters you will be living with at WW, but from past experiences, everyone is usually very easy going, amiable, and heavy drinkers. You shouldn’t have a problem making friends, and all it takes is an elevator ride to the next floor.
