I can't find this. Can anyone tell me specifically where they bought theirs?

Walmart or Zellars is a good place to look. Any big department store should carry them.

Most of the ones I saw at Wal Mart were the ones that you stick to the wall in the shower :(. Haven't been able to find a basket-type one :S

For a basket try a dollar store like Dollarama

I had a basket in my house for lotions and soaps. It was plastic and I just drilled a couple holes in the bottom :\

i got something like a very small handbag for the shower that had holes in it from the Bay for about 10 dollars. You can also try Sears or La Vie en Rose.

Ooh thanks, I didn't think Sears/Bay would have it. How exactly does it look like I don't think I've come across it before XD

It is a small blue handbag type thing with nets all around and and 4 outside pockets to put soap shampoo ect... It has small holes on the bottom and a velcrow strap to carry it... itwas very handy carrying things to and from the shower.

I would definitely recommend bringing your own chair if you have room in your car or wait and see how you like it and bring one back after a trip home. Sitting in the ones that are supplied can become painful after sitting on it for a long period of time. Plus, if you end up moving off-campus after 1st year, you're going to need one anyway.

How about an Obus-forme to put in the chair instead? It would be very portable

As daisy mentioned above, try dollarama. They're only 1 dollar, (saving you the other 9 from sears/wal-mart). There's a dollarama in Dundas, Hamilton (7 minute bus ride form Mac) at University Plaza. So you can just head over there if there isn't a dollarama around you after you move in.

I found one at bed bath and beyond, its like a rubbery basket with holes and differnt compartments inside and has a handle-rubber. Not too big or small.

Sounds like a plan. I'll find a location around my area. Thanks! =]

You can get one from UTS when you move in (they usually have a table near the tables where you get your keys when you move in.
