A) the size of the rooms are bigger than what you'd get in any other traditional residence
B) You don't actually need AC, you get there at the tail end of summer and you leave in the spring, what you need is heating!

Sounds awesome! Can't wait to meet everyone in the residence!
No other residence has as much history as ours! Who can say their residence was located in 2 different cities?! That's right! No one!

Tleilaxu,
You've gotten it a bit mixed up actually. McMaster originated in Toronto and moved to Hamilton, Edwards however never had a home in Toronto it was built here in 1930. They did not have the technology to movebuildings back then. And Wallingford, Eddies Sister Res, was built at the same time. They both have uber amounts of history

I just found out I am in Edwards, and at first I was not very excited to hear about it because it was not even on my list of choices... but after reading a bit about it and what you guys have been writing about, I'm pretty excited. I consider myself a pretty cultural guy and I travel alot ( I am in Iran for the next month after being in Paris for the past 4 days) so I look forward to meeting people of different cultures and language-speaking abilities!

Edwards is a wonderful res, you get to know everyone much more intimately and faster than you do in bigger residences. One of my favourite things about it is that it has so much history... its almost 77 years old!

go eddy!!
I lived in Edwards last year and I loved it. Your at the centre of campus, close to everything...food, lecture halls, the gym...etc
The rooms are huge compared to other residences and the bathrooms are a good size too.
You guys will love edwards, I knew everyone in my building unlike bates or brandon where you only know your roommate and maybe your neighbours.
If you guys have any questions about edwards or mac, feel free to message me =)
