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

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 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. |

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. |
