I believe the deadline for applications has passed, hense why you probably can't access it anymore.

Also, their server has been having problems, so it could be the reason as well.

Chad, I think she means logging into the system to check out her res room.

Apparently the server is up and working now, as many students know their room assignments now.

Mary E. Keyes is one of the nicest looking and coolest inside. I'm sure you'll have loads of fun in there. Its the rez one of my good friends stayed in her first year and loved it.

Here's a photo of Mary Keyes for you to check out!

Some facts about Mary Keyes:
  • Completed in 2003, Mary E. Keyes Residence is the only "Suite" style building on campus and is 100% accessible
  • Adjacent to Cootes Paradise on the western edge of campus with an exceptional view of the Dundas escarpment
  • Mary E. Keyes Residence houses 280 men and women on seven floors
    Residents share carpeted furnished suite - livingroom, kitchenette and 2 washrooms with shower, toilet and sink
  • Suites house four occupants (4 private bedrooms)
  • 6 suites are totally handicapped-accessible
  • Lounges and study rooms found on each floor with a centrally-located study room on 2nd floor
  • Music room in basement along with games room overlooking the dining facility
  • Laundry facilities with iron and ironing boards are located on the second floor
  • Students/guest will be able to enjoy the beauty of the campus while relaxing in the courtyard
  • Tim Hortons and convenience store on main floor
  • The new 8,000 square foot one-of-a-kind "East Meets West Bistro" dining facility will be located on the main floor.
  • The Bistro features a wood burning pizza oven and two-storey glass windows with a fabulous view of the campus as well as an outside patio
  • 3 meeting rooms are equipped with phone and Internet and offer seating ranging from 70 to 116 persons
  • Meeting rooms are available with view from 2nd floor overlooking dining facilities
  • West quad service centreis located on the first floor
The nice thing about Keyes is the living style... you get your own single room and have a hallway connected to a few other people's rooms.. and you share a common kitchen and lounging area. Really fun!

Your room will have in it (according to the Housing website):
  • A living room with a loveseat, coffee table, entertainment unit, cable outlet, overhead lighting and window coverings - you are responsible for your own TV, VCR, etc.
  • A kitchenette with a fridge, cooktop and microwave - you are responsible for cutlery, dishes, cookware, etc. There is a built-in island with stools.
  • Bedrooms measure approximately 8'10" by 12'2" and include Captain's bed, desk with bookcase and light fixture, desk chair, drapes, garbage can, built-in closet, telephone handset and internet and phone service.

Also, here are two links that should help you further while preparing

I'll warn you ahead of time... the restaurant inside the building is quite expensive .. but has a large variety of very well prepared food.

Bistro food IS more expensive, but it is of the highest quality. Additionally, it offers more variety than the other resteraunts on campus. However, a lot of their items (like the cakes!) are high in fat, so you've got to be wary of what you're ingesting.
