Hello,<\/p>\n

I’m currently a student at UTSC but was looking to do a semester at utsg while also living on res there. When I applied, I didn’t get into utsg so the option of the res isn’t even available on myres. Would I have to transfer and be a utsg student to stay on res there during my semester? Please help me out.<\/p>\n

Thanks<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n

i’ve done a lot of searching around for this question, just ’cause I’ve never had one like it before (you can congratulate<\/a> yourself on being so unique<\/a>). unfortunately, despite the awesome uniqueness of the ask, i have to give a kinda disappointing answer.<\/p>\n

i wasn’t able to find any reference to UTSG accommodations for non-UTSG students. even the independent residences <\/a>seem to only provide residence to students on the downtown campus. i’d suggest trying to get onto the waitlist, but if UTSG residences aren’t appearing on your myres at all, then i don’t know how you might do that.<\/p>\n

if you’re up to spending upwards of $5000 for one semester, you can take a look at these B&Bs<\/a> available through Uoft’s temporary housing page. although i’ve gotta say, that’s hella expensive, and it makes a whole lot more sense to me to spend, like $1000 or so commuting for the semester, than $5500 living in the city. but hey, it’s totally up to you.<\/p>\n

as for transferring, most undergrad programs can only be transferred into for september, since a lot of our courses are a year long, rather than a semester. i doubt you could pull it off, if i’m being honest.<\/p>\n

so yeah, i couldn’t find much, but i am just a peon in the goliath that is the uoft machine<\/a>. if you want to make sure there are no other options available, i’d suggest calling housing services at 416-978-8045. that way you can hear it straight from the horse’s mouth<\/a>.<\/p>\n

sorry, i know that’s not what you wanted to hear, but commuting’s not so bad! this morning, i was twenty minutes late to class because my train was delayed, then a crazy person started talking to me while I was trying to buy subway tokens, then my token didn’t work and i had to wait in line for five minutes to buy another one!!!!<\/a> so you see, it’s not all bad.*<\/p>\n

best,<\/p>\n

*no, seriously, i’s not always that bad. i just try to be funny on here. am I funny? please love me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
