Edwards had clean washrooms last year. There are about 30 odd people on a floor (100 in total for 3 floors) and 3 washrooms on each floor.

Any particular reason? (For Woodstock)?
As a child and even as an adult, my reluctance to use public bathrooms has gotten me very very sick. Looking back though, I support my decision

Well, I lived in Woodstock, and enjoyed the residence. The bathrooms were also kept clean.
It's also a 10 sec walk from Commons (where you will be eating 99% of the time), so that's a plus!
But I mean, other residences also have clean bathrooms too, I just really enjoyed woodstock.

I just looked properly at the Residence application form.
And Les Prince and the others weren't options for me.
So I selected
Single with Washroom
All Female Single with Washroom
Halycon House Single with Washroom
Substance Free Double with Washroom
International House Single with Washroom.
Lmfao I doubt I'm getting what I put down so 
Edit:
I just hit the part where they said "Any Special Accomodations"
I have several but had to write "No" instead.
Edit II: residence application yesterday and till today can't fill in my gender and date of birth. Is that expected?

You guys completely missed Hedden which would be the 2nd choice to Les Prince for traditional residences in terms of washrooms.
The washrooms are private, locked, single washrooms outside the rooms. There's usually 3 different washrooms shared between 4-5 rooms.
Most of the other residences have all public style washrooms.

Residence Waiting Lists:
To those on the RWL, I was just on the phone with the Residence office and was informed that there were about 200 people on the waiting list and it is doubtful offers would be made. The office doesn't anticipate on making any offers.

I've heard that a couple of people have dropped out. There may not be many but I would not say that they should say that no offers will be made. |

Sorry you probably won't get a space.
It sounds like they still have people on their gaurenteed list who aren't assigned rooms yet so I'm assuming demand for residence spots is extremely high this year.

I'm still completing the application but not getting my hopes too high
On the residence application, Nicole, what do they mean by "screen name"?

That's too bad :( 200 people :O .. They should inform people of their number though, so that they can find other housing options and as soon as possible.

They actually do tell people what number they are on the list.
The "unassigned" people are the ones that are guaranteed a residence room.
