Upper Year Residence Waitlist/ Wait it out or apartment search?
I'm a transfer who didn't get one of the 10 spots in the lottery , so I was added to the upper year wait list.
What are the chances of getting into residence being #33 on the Upper Year Waitlist? I know 33 would have good chances on the first year waitlist, but are the odds still good for upper years?

I'm not too familiar with the Hamilton area, are there any apartment buildings or the likes close to campus? I'm not too keen on rooming houses or basements, but I am fine with a two or three bedroom apartment with roommates. Or even a one bedroom or bachelor. Any specific apartment names or complexes I can look into?


Thanks.

Check out the apartment buildings on Main Street West between Osler and Whitney. It's a ten minute bus ride or 25-30 minute walk to the middle of campus. There are lots of students there and they have one to three bedrooms in an apartment.
