any knowledge on Harrington housing? Do a lot of UofT students stay there? How does it compare to other off campus student residences?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

maybe my head’s been in the sand or something, but this is the first i’ve ever heard of harrington housing. if it’s not on-campus, chestnut, or campus one, aka if it’s not directly affiliated with the uni, i don’t really\u00a0<\/em>know anything and dunno if i’m supposed to be advising on it. plus, if i haven’t ever heard of it, chances are it isn’t a huge hotspot for u of t kiddos. from what i can find, if you’re living there, you’re likely to be mixed in with students from other schools, like ryerson.<\/p>\n

i did check out the website– not sure if you’ve watched their testimonials<\/a> yet, but maybe those can give you an idea of what things are like?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

either way, it’s hard for me to say, having not really dabbled in off-campus student housing myself. i will say harrington’s location (sherbourne and bloor) is good, but it could be better. while no frills, mcdonald’s, rexall, and timmy’s are super nearby, you’re looking at a 30 minute walk to u of t. i guess it’s aight if you buy a monthly pass and subway 10 minutes<\/a> instead. but it’s no campus one.<\/p>\n

it does seem like having a kitchen as opposed to to a meal plan will help save you money, and i’ve seen some stuff mentioning programming for the students living at harrington. that’s gotta be good, right?<\/p>\n

wish i could be more helpful. but best of luck!<\/p>\n

be Boundless,<\/p>\n
