cool. so can u like download shows and stuff from DC++ like.. limewire?

and. how do u rent a fridge? i know you can do it your first day there when you're moving in. but where do you go? and how big are these fridges. i heard there were 2 sizes.
is there a mini-fridge with 3 shelves? cause i'm in a triple room. and it would be nice for all of us to have our own shelf. loll. =)

also duing welcome week there is trip to IKEA. is.. there an ikea in hamilton? cause i was looking for it on the IKEA website.. but it wasn't listed.

Yes, DC++ is like Limewire, but much much better.

You may get a sheet in the mail with the rest of your res info with an order form for a fridge. If not, they have the sheets during move-in for you to fill out.

To be honest, all I really know is that they are mini fridges (if there are two sizes). The one I had was about three feet tall, with a teeny freezer and three shelves.

Yes, the IKEA trip is during class time on friday this year. The IKEA is technically on the border of Hamilton and Burlington; I suggest looking under Burlington.

thanks. =)

ok really random question - are the mirrors in residence rooms full length mirrors? lol

Haha. To my knowlege, no. At least, not all of them.

I think some are 3/4 length (the newer residences; Hedden ('91) and later), while the rest are bathroom vanity-sized.

Are the mirrors in your rez room in Woodstock full length? No. They are on a cabinet door, shoulder height, get your shoulders up I'd say...

As for fridges... definitely look into doing some shopping around online with FutureShop (they sell mini fridges!.. dang I love that store too much lol), you can try Ikea, Leons, Sears, Home Depot, etc.

I recommend looking for them through classifieds, since you'll get a great price. Sometimes bar fridges pop up on the Facebook Marketplace, kijiji.ca, or Craigslist

oki...thanks i'll put full length mirror on my back to school shopping list lol
Btw...is there anything wrong with the rented fridges? I heard that they may not be as good.

I think mine was rented (I was in a triple, so it was supplied for us), and i thought it was fine.

Is there a point in bringing a tv then if they don't work in the rooms? or do they?

i don't know of anyone having a problem with their TV working in their room. infact, the people i knew with a TV in their room lived in woodstock...

if your in a triple room, do they just automatically supply you with a fridge?

I don't know. They did three and two years ago for sure. I'm not sure about last year (as I was a WW Rep for an apartment-style res, which was different than the traditional style I lived and repped for the previous years) or this year though. If you are getting a fridge in your room, there should be information in your residence package.

are we supposed to get our mac id with our res package.. or will that come later?

In years previous, the MAC ID would come in mid-August, and res info came at the end of July. Because the way residence is doing things has changed this year, I don't really know!

However, you will (or, at least SHOULD) have it by the end of August.

This year Woodstock is doing a 70's theme for Welcome Week!!!!
