<\/span><\/strong><\/em>Hi, i’ll be coming to UofT from out of town and my parents have been pressuring me about money, loans, etc. i know things change every year, but i’m wondering if some of the residences are more “thrifty” or less expensive than others?<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

i’ve gotten my ‘residence reply form’ for New<\/st1:placename> College<\/st1:placetype><\/st1:place>, and noticed that their res fees have gone up since last year. would it be a possibility for me to switch to a residence that’s a bit cheaper, or is it too late now? Thanks!<\/strong><\/em><\/o:p><\/p>\n

The cost to live on campus in a residence isn?t too friendly, I’ll give you that. <\/span>However, I wouldn?t leave your residence of choice just because your parents are being dill-holes about your cash flow. <\/span>You can always go to your registrar?s office and apply for grants and scholarships if you?re in any financial need. <\/span>There are a lot of resources available for students as long as you take advantage of them.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

If the thought of how expensive residence housing is, then I would suggest giving this website a looksie. Thrifty, yes. <\/span>If the idea of living like a starving artist appeals to you, crazy go nuts. <\/span>I live in a campus co-op house right now. <\/span>It?s not bad for the summer. <\/span>I?ve got a friend living at Tartu<\/st1:place><\/st1:city> right now. <\/span>She says it?s OK for the month she has to live there. <\/span>Though, if your heart is set on living in a residence, check out this site <\/a>for a break down on everything. <\/span>Then contact the registrar for the cheaper college informing them that you want to leave evil, costly New College to be a part of their better, happy environment. <\/span>The one downfall about doing that, though, is that you may be forced to live at? >>>>>>>CHESTNUT<<<<<<< if you decide to switch because of filled vacancies at the college you swapped for.? The kicker is that Chesnut is more expensive than New<\/st1:placename> College<\/st1:placetype><\/st1:place>. <\/span>And then you?d just be a sukkah. ? And nobody wants to be that<\/em> guy.? <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
