Very informative. Thank you! I just read on the u of G that the single rooms will be a double. Due to housing / resident issues. Hope you are on your way to achieve your goals!
Wow very useful and helpful !! thank you. We wish to move University of Guelph from Calgary this Fall, 2022.My wife got a PhD offer though formal offer letter not yet received. We have 1 kids 3 years old. Family housing is our preference. It would be great if we finds some information from you. Thank you
Congratulations!! very exciting, and that is a hugeee move cross country! I would just check out the u of g housing website for more info and if you have any questions about applying to live in family housing, there should be an email somewhere on the webpage. they are usually pretty quick to respond. not quite sure how residence application works for PhD students, but good luck!!
We are overwhelmed to see your quick reply. When we watched your video my baby noticed you have a Winie the Poh and she left us and took her own Winie and told Daddy winie, Winie. Talk to soon. We need some suggestions also about my baby Schooling at Guelph. Thank again.
@@muhammadmahmudulhasanselim3637 personally i dont have any kids so I havevent explored the nearby childcare options, but one of my managers in residence life staff uses the on campus Guelph Childcare and Learning Center for his kiddos. It is on east side of campus, so a walk from west res, but honestly pretty close by in the grand scheme of things. They are run by a coordinator and then students in the early childhood education program at the university i think. But I would just search up childcare Guelph and start reading reviews and calling around to get more info as your move day gets closer.
Hey, keep making more videos about the university! Can you give a gym and track tour? Also which residence is near the gym and the cafeteria at the same time?
closest to the gym is east, anything in east, but there is no caf in that direction. I live in Maritime so I am in the closest building in south to the gym and I don't have to go outside to get to mountain caf or prairie caf. I probably wouldn't pick north residences if you want to be going to the gym a lot, but its still a managable walk and north has its own cafs. The central campus res buildings like johnston are pretty close to everything just on the merit that they are right in the middle of campus. I will try and give a gym tour, but I don't have a gym membership this year so I can't access every part of the gym and it is lowkey weird to film in the gyms, but you can get a tour and general idea of the services on the gryphons athletics website. Hope that helps
@@onlytruth6494 There are specific things that require membership. I am pretty sure the walking track is always free. I go iceskating all the time and that is free as well as the swiming pools, using the regular gyms for like basketball courts, and intermural sports. So if you are super into playing basketball, you would want to join the intermural league. The gym membership is at a reduced rate for students, its only $50 per semeater which is wayyyyy better than any other local gym rate. I had the gym memberahip my first year and loved it, I went to yoga and dance classes a lot, I used the weight room like three times a week, but since I started skating I haven't found time to do my old routines. There is also a rock wall, but I am not sure if that is included in the general gym pass or if that is an extra fee because there are specofic instructors for safety.
Hey I'm coming for semester exchange this fall, pls help me telling about the environment and surrounding , how's the vegetarian food of the mess etc. I'm from India.
I was vegetarian in first year, it was a lot of pasta. but there are quite a few options. We have a lot of vegetarians on campus so they have many options in my opinion
I like the east village townhouses or glengary or dundas because you get your own room but heavily share communal living space. I would always recommend your own room because transition to university is hard sometimes and you just need your own space to be able to get a break sometimes. Unless you have been sharing a room with a sibling or room mate already, I would recommend those communal type living arrangements where you each have a door to close at night
From the following..... 1. Johnston Hall 2. South residence 3. Lambton 4. Lennox addington Which one is the best for 2 people per room?? And also are the bathrooms seperate or in sharing for the whole residence??
In both residences I have lived in the floors themselves are all one or the other, NOT co-ed. I am pretty sure it is the same way for all residences at Guelph
if you are coming in with a group of friends already, get a house in east village or a flat in glengary together. if you are hoping to make new friends to go out with: mountain, prairie, or maritime. Parties on campus are not allowed, though they still happen, but you probably wont be attending many parties actually within mountain prairie or maritime. So I say those are the easiest res buildings to make friends, in my opinion, and they are close to the bus loop to get to off campus parties fastest, which is where most of the fun is. But quite honestly, there are a lot of things going on off campus constantly, so as long as you make "the right kind of friends" in classes or clubs, you'll have somewhere to go out. (pls also keep studying lol if you are a business student, i can tell you from experience you will have plenty of time for both school and fun lol can't speak for other majors tho)
@@zhc-records8440 I am in management economics and finance which i think has now been split into management and government economics. Its a good major but highkey all of the majors are pretty similar especially in first year
This video was very helpful, but Im scared I won’t make any friends since this will be my first year. I just moved to Ontario and I’m scared therr will be everyone already knowing each other and I’ll be the extra one 🙁😅 what res to choose or any general tip for making new friends and partying?
I lived in south my first year, very similar situation new to ontario, and my best advice would be to talk to your RA, get involved in clubs, and try to get to know the people who sit around you in class. As for parties, go to O Week events and dont be afraid to get a little daring, its odd to go out with people you just met a couple hours ago, but thats what uni is in the first couple weeks. pretty soon you will find your crowd, dont worry :)
Could you please make a video about how much you paid for uofg from dorm, tuition, meal plan, dorm supplies, books, etc. It would be very helpful. Thank you!
you can find all that infornation updated for each year on the uofg housing website, so any video i make would basically immediately be out of date and the numbers i say wouldnt matter. So I would just suggest you look that up on the website, the university is pretty transparent about housing and meal plan pricing
@@JayPatel-ge5py I no longer live at the university :( so I can not upload videos like this. You can try and search Housing UofG to find the official Guelph Housing youtube channel and they may have these room tours you are looking for. The bathrooms have shower heads that are slightly adjustable so I think you could get a "jet" to happen in most showers there
Which residence you used to live at?? Amd how was the overall experience from food to cleanliness to space in the room. Amd also in which room you used to stay in, single, double, triple or quad??
Hello Lynn, thanks for your video. It has really been helpful, I have applied for the masters of project management at the Langs school and I'm awaiting the admission decision. Please what residence would be okay for a family of 3, applicant, spouse and a kid. Also, how much is the total annual rent amount for such residence. Finally, in comparison with an off campus apartment, please, which is better in your view and why?
unfortunately i don't have the answers to these questions. This year has brought some extreme changes to the residence department at Guelph and the market has made rent proces for off campus living virtually impossible to esrimate based on my knowlege from last year. Additionally I have never lived off campus, so I don't have pros and cons for off vs on campus and especially with a family. I would reccomend contacting student housing services with these questions via email
@@kayjones3511 i think it should be housing@uoguelph.ca and keep in mond that they are getting a LOT of emails right now since move in starts in like a week and a half for the majority of students on campus, so housing definitely won't reply as fast as I am
I would reccomend following uofgmeemes on instagram or checking the website the cannon which is a guelph site to post sublets and roomate spots as well as textbooks and so on. you can also contact uofg housing because they actually help people find off campus housing as well as residence living
At Guelph they don't place you based on major unless you request to be in an Academic Learning Cluster. I think last year the com sci cluster was in Mountain, but if you aren't in the cluster you can literally live anywhere on campus!
