What are my best chances at getting a single room for residence at Vic (Upper\/Lower Burwash is ideal)? The residence application only asks questions like “Do you prefer to study in your room or in the library?” and “How important is tidiness to you?”. Strangely, there’s no place asking about having highly contagious diseases and social disorders, so faking those are out of the question. I’m thinking if I make myself out to be a clean-freak with few coping skills and a need for complete silence constantly, I’ll be good. Also, Does first-come first-serve have anything to do with it?

I’m not really sure how it goes, but I know that the Dons and Residence Life Staff Members always have some sort of say in who lives where, etc. In my opinion, it wouldn’t hurt to have it in as early as possible. The best thing to do, and this advice comes from my dearest Aunti who has been in school\/doing exchanges forever, would be:
\nMake yourself seem like the biggest loner in the whole entire world. You do yoga at 4am. You are extremely tidy and spend all of your spare time cleaning. Find a way to subtly put in that you snore at incredible volumes and have had a pillow smothered in your face at camp before because it had been such a problem.
\nthough to me, you were on the right track by making yourself seem like super librarian. Good work. I’m proud. Just take it to the next level and be hella intolerable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
