3-5 ft, or 3.5 feet? there is a HUGE difference.

i can't really tell you. i didn't live in brandon or go visit people there too often. if you're not going to Welcome Day on friday, ask in the Brandon thread.

very helpful

Just to confirm on the calcumalator: it's a Casio fx991MS.

Thanks for this list - it's extremely helpful! About the laundry machines though - I heard that some accept ONLY quarters. (But my source may be outdated). Do you know if they all accept loonies?

every machine i ever used/fought with accepted both.

and an additional tip for drying: put in $1.50 and your stuff will be dry; otherwise you have to put in another $1.25 when the load stops.

Awesome! Thanks for the tip. : )

Hey i have a laptop and i was looking into buying a new laptop bag for next year in which i could also carry around my notebooks and stuff for class. I just wanted to know: how big of a backpack do i actually need for uni? My highschool one was enormous but then again i wasnt living on res in so yeah... any advice? thanks in advance!

Well, it depends on your schedule/how you're organizing your notes (if you are taking any).

When I lived in res, I would only take the notebooks for the classes I was going to, so I rarely needed a large bag. It is also common for people to just carry around a clipboard for all of their notes. If you plan on not going back to res, and carring multiple notebooks and possibly a textbook, you'll need a larger bag.

My backpack right now is pretty small; but the largest amount of classes I have in a row is two, so I don't need to bring much to school, even tho I live off campus.

Awesome, thanks a lot!

Ooh i saw that in the paper a few days ago and circled it Its less than half the price of the Andy unit you were talking about from Ikea yay for savings!

Yup. The only reason I mentioned the ANDY unit was because it was the only image I could find!

Does anyone know if the rental fridges are decent (not too noisy, etc) or is it better to invest in a new one?

I thought mine was fine.
