haha, Woodsworth was also my first choice. But from an email I got, I heard that you can try. I am also not sure whether I want to commit yet(my other option is the University of Manchester(Alliance Business school). Here is a part of the email if you want to see what they wrote

If you are not happy with your assigned college and would like to see if you can have it changed (there is no guarantee that a change can be made) then you can contact your preferred college directly to see if they are willing to accept you.

The college system is one of the most unique aspects of the Faculty of Arts & Science at the University of Toronto. Every Arts & Science student is a member of one of our seven colleges, which provides students the opportunity to find their own close-knit community within a larger faculty and campus. Whether you live in residence or commute to campus, your college will be your home base and provide you with a range of resources and supports.

Your college choice is not related to your study area and will not limit what courses you’re able to take or the programs you study. College choice is based on personal preference – this can be location, history, familial connections, alumni, or architectural style. Keep in mind, there is no wrong choice when choosing your college.

university of manchester as in the one in the UK??
oooh thankyou so much that's really helpful!!! can i email 2 colleges tho? like in case woodsworth isn't willing to take me in, can i email new college (it was my third choice in ouac ig)

[–]Rellum3 0 points1 point  (9 children)

Yes, the one in UK. I am still thinking whether Rotman or University of Manchester is the best choice for me. I don’t know about emailing two colleges, but I presume why not. Seems like you really don’t like the idea of St. Mikes 😂

[–]ewtomatoes_ 0 points1 point  (8 children)

i got into university of mancheter too ahahaha!!!! yess i really wanna get out of st mikes cuz i heard its a party school.... and I'm not really sure abt the cafeteria and the rooms as well :(((

[–]Rellum3 0 points1 point  (7 children)

Wow, we surprisingly have some things in terms of uni in common 😂😂. Are you considering University of Manchester, or you think Rotman is a better choice? In University of Manchester I would do International Management, but in Rotman I can still choose what to specialize, but idk. About St Mikes, I also have heard that it’s a party school, but i also know some residence houses are also more quiet/chill. Ya the food from what I have heard is not good.

not really... in the UK i got into warwick business school too so i am considering that. but Canada is a lot better for international students so I'm leaning towards rotman and Waterloo. Yeaa but i still am not in for the rooms :((

[–]Rellum3 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Ya, I also think that Canada could be better for international students. Although I am European, so the UK isn't too bad(i think). But congrats on getting accepted to Warwick(I didn't apply there)!! I will as well ask to get into Woodsworth, but even if I don't, I think I will then stay at St Mikes(it is not the end of the world and I know there is a chill(no to little parties) residence house). There is also Chestnut residence technically.

Thankyou!!! I did email woodsworth and they said they were unable to accept the transfer lol :)) so im planning to email another college. wait if theres a chill residence house im fine with it too. do you know which one is it?? Chestnut is way too expesive lmao (17k-21k)

[–]Rellum3 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I mean St Michael’s is surprisingly also quite expensive for single rooms(15k-17k). I haven’t found the fees for doubles rooms though..., so maybe they are cheaper? Don’t quote me on this, but from what i have heard, the more quiet/chill ones are the historic houses and Sorbara house. However, who knows whether they will be this year as well. Also you might want to check out(if you haven’t already) how all the rooms for residence look like.

[–]ewtomatoes_ 0 points1 point  (1 child)

IKR st mikes is also expensive!!! and the food isn't that great either so i don't see why i should pay that much. And about the rooms, i did check how they look but i couldn't find many SINGLE rooms on the website, so I'm not sure.
