Hello. I’m a typical stressed out grade twelve student that applied to the U of T St. George ages ago and only was accepted, actually, days ago.
\nWhile I was being wooed by other univerisities with scholarships and such, I stared at “Pending Review” on Toronto’s site for months!<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

They’ve sent me a package that basically says Innis is my college but they may not have residency for me.
\nWith nearly a week to decide, I must know: What are the chances of me actually living at Innis, or am I forced onto my second choice (which I randomly decided as New College, but apparently the ‘new’ is kin to the ‘green’ in Greenland).<\/p>\n

So I saw your url on the pamplet and decided to try my luck.<\/p>\n

?<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

?<\/span><\/p>\n

When I read your inquiry my heart strings were tugged a little bit.? <\/span>Your story is almost identical to mine.? <\/span>Only, back in my grade twelve day, I wouldn?t have attempted at the funny that you had.? <\/span>Was that a positive comment?? <\/span>A negative comment?? <\/span>Who cares.? <\/span>I?m feeling ambiguous today.?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There?s just one Jiminy Glick in your question, however.? <\/span>You wouldn?t go to New College if you weren?t granted a spot in the residence.? <\/span>The place you would end up is Chestnut.? <\/span>So, this is what I did when I was in your shoes (do you wear a 6 ?, by chance, doppelganger?) to help you avoid what I wanted to and successfully did:<\/span><\/p>\n

I e-mailed Tim Worgan at the residence office and informed him that I was lactose intolerant.? <\/span>(Not false.)? <\/span>Since I was lactose intolerant, I needed to live in a residence where I was able to make and plan my own meals because being on a meal plan would be too risky for my dietary concerns.? <\/span>I received an e-mail from him saying that he would take that into consideration.? <\/span>Then I heard back months later about having a space in the building.<\/span><\/p>\n

So, basically, you have to keep in contact with them.? <\/span>Let them know of your interest and why you want\/need to live at Innis and they?ll take that into consideration when deciding yay or nay for you. Read the entire website.<\/span><\/a><\/span> You?ll find all of the contact information on it too.? <\/span>And, I know that the first year section seems lame and that it was written by a bitter person who was stuck with bad roomies, but Innis does have a streak of cool running through it.? <\/span>I was actually a bit embarrassed at how brash it made first year sound going through it today.? <\/span>Room selections aren?t made until the end of August, so it?s likely that you won?t find out until then.? <\/span>But let them know of your interest sooner than later.<\/span><\/p>\n

?<\/span><\/p>\n

*As a side note: New College isn?t really that bad.? <\/span>And, for all you jocks out there, the Athletics Centre is literally right around the corner.?? <\/span>Alright.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
