trinity college dorm tour!!!

- Welcome to my first year room in Trinity College residence at the University of Toronto💕
I definitely found it strange that there are no pictures available of the rooms, so hopefully this can help you guys get a better grasp of what it's like living in Trin! I have a single room and I would say the majority of people living in Trin Proper do too. I also live on a single-gender floor with around 6 other girls and we share one bathroom.
If you want to skip my explanation of Trin res and just see the room tour, go to 4:41.
How much do you have to pay for dorms?
ok this is taken directly from my payment account to the university, not from the Trin website: my non-tuition charges (so residence and meal plan) comes out to $18, 660.00 (CAD)
*for the 2022-2023 academic year
I should also add that fees are very different between domestic (Canadian) and international students! I am Canadian so that is the Canadian cost.
Going into Trinity fall 2022. You have no idea how helpful this video is for people like me who’ve never seen the rooms close up. Thank you for making this video!💚💚
Thanks for the video…. I got accepted to UofT(Trinity) for fall’22 and your videos helped me to get a better sense of what Trinity is actuallly…. :).
This video helped me a lot when I was deciding what college to apply to and now I'm going to be moving into trin!! I got a room in the Cosgrave section, and I was wondering if that's the same area as your room -- because it looks so beautiful! ☺
cosgrave is right beside my old section (seager) - the details like the doors, shape of the windows, carpet, layout of the bathrooms are all different but in their own cozy way!
really hoping to be accepted into trinity college for class of 2028!
hi bela ! this is my third time watching this video bc i just love it sm ! i just got my residence placement, it’s in trinity proper roost 4th floor i believe :) do you have any idea how the rooms / floor is like ? thanks !
roost is literally my favourite part of trin, you're so lucky!!! there's lotssss of stairs and steps everywhere and beautiful old iron windows. You guys have a cute little kitchenette too!!! Truly such hogwarts vibes up there and a nice view of either the quad or Graham (the trin library) and the chapel!
@@bela.at.trinity omg this is SO helpful 🥹 thank you so much ❤️
I know this is a bit late (..sorry) but I’m hoping to apply to trinity if I get accepted this fall and I’m curious about the winter break residence situation? On Trinity’s website they ask that students vacate their rooms and turn in their keys before a certain date, but does that mean you yourself leave and go home or do you need to bring everything with you as in emptying your room as well? Your room looks so well kept but there’s so much stuff… so I’m assuming you don’t need to empty your room before break 😂 So sorry for the long question! Your videos are helping me a lot, thank you!
hiiiiiiii, so when they ask you to vacate you just need to take what you need for the 2 or 3 weeks of break and you hand in your keys because no one is allowed on res during the break! But it is still your room, you return to the same one for the winter semester! I think there is a super rare case where you could be assigned a different room for the fall and winter semesters but I don't know anyone who had to do that, but it is a possibility. On Starrez you can see if you've been assigned the same room! I never had to move all my stuff out haha, that would have been soooo hard to do at christmas time lol.
@@bela.at.trinity oh thank goodness, that reassured me plenty, haha - thanks so much! And yeah I can totally imagine that moving everything is a nightmare :)
I was studing english en 1994 in Trinity College, mi room was a single room like your, and i think was the same!!
thank you soooo much for this video!!! crazy how there is barely any content on trinity's residences so i really appreciate this video! would you say that u of t is really demanding? i just got accepted to honours bachelor of science at trinity, as well as commerce in Mississauga but I'm scared of accepting either offer cause everyone says that u of t's academics are really difficult and the university doesn't care about students' health :(
Hi Mary! firstly I just want to say I totally understand your fears and I was pretty close to choosing UOttawa instead of Trin/Uoft because I was worried it would just be too hard and I wasn't smart enough to succeed at UofT. I was scaredddddd. But my heart was telling me Trin. I knew making a decision because of fear of failure was not how I want to live my life, so I took a bit of a leap of faith I guess haha. I do humanities so I can't comment directly on how hard sciences are but many of my good friends do it and they have social lives, friends, etc, and do well! Despite what you read on Reddit, which I would avoid, it isn't impossible to do well here (in fact, everyone around me seems to be doing really well lol). UofT is challenging. I won't sugarcoat it. People are stressed, put too much pressure on themselves (me included), tired, stuck in libraries all day,... buuuuuuut I wouldn't say the university doesn't care about our mental health. Profs are typically good with extensions, there are supports available, and the family you build will help you so much. Personally, if I were faced with your choice, I would go with Trinity rather than Mississauga because you'll a small community to belong to rather than nothing. Plus the St George campus is gorgeous lol. I'm from the area so it's downtown all the way over Mississauga. Just a last piece of advice, you're clearly smart enough to succeed if you got in, so don't doubt your abilities. You can achieve balance - one of my best friends has incredible grades, participates in tons of things and goes to bed by 10:30 every night - and still succeed here.
@@bela.at.trinity You are so sweet thank you for your advice! Since I'm a transfer upper-year student, I was wondering if it would be possible to live at another college/residence if ever I'm not given a spot at Trinity's residences? Also, what areas at Trinity/St. Hilda's College, would you recommend? I've heard that some bathrooms are quite old so that's something that I'm concerned about :)
@@maryco5030 I honestly don't know a good answer to your question haha. I know that this year, (2021-2022), some Trin people didn't get a spot in Hilda's/trin proper and were sent to live in the Chelsea hotel/Chestnut residence. And I didn't get to choose which part of Trin to live in but if you do have that choice, the bathrooms in Owens are absolutely to-die-for. But Owens is also over the kitchens and gets really hot though. I'd say the worst bathrooms are in the Cosgrave section of Trin proper lol. Honestly for me the bathroom sitch was quite traumatizing at first but you get used to it haha. For me it was less so age and more so uncleanliness - but I'm also a bit of a clean freak so take this with a grain of salt!
thanks sm for the video! im moving into trin proper as a first year in the fall and I'm in a triple, do you happen to know what the room layout is like?? (my roomates and i couldn’t find anything online 😭😭)
how exciting!!!! all the best with your first year! I think triple room are super rare (I've never been in one myself) and I think they only exist in the front of Trin, in the more castle-y part. I think they have big bay windows??? I'm sorry I don't know more
:((((
You’re room is so cozy!!
hi!! tysm for this super informative video. i'm moving into a double in seager this fall - would you happen to know what the layout is like/what the approximate size of the room is? thank you!
I lived in Seager for two years and I had no idea there were even double rooms so not sure I can be much help unfortunately. I hope my videos can help give an idea of the furniture/vibes of Seager though!
best room in trin proper ❤️🔥
Thank you so much for making this vid!! Do you know how many sophomores and upper class students live in residence after their first year? Is it quite unusual to live in res after first year? Thank you so much again!
From what I can tell from talking with older students, a lot of upper class students do come back and live in trin! it's not unusual at all. Some people get a 2-year residence guarantee when first offered a spot in trin, but most just enter the lottery/waitlist. Just a few days ago the res application for 2022-2023 year opened, so I entered the lottery and so did nearly all my friends who also hope to live in res next year.
Omg soooo cute. Love this video
It that where the movie "Mazes and Monsters" with Tom Hanks was filmed?
wait did you say all first years get a room? if we get in, are we sure that we have an accommodation? that’s so great!!
The University of Toronto has a 1st year residence guarantee!
Hi, I am student at UofT and I am considering living at trinity residence next semester. May I just ask how is the temperature in the room ? Cuz I noticed on school website that there is no air condition in Trinity residence. And thank you so much for making the video !!
Hi!!! So September and early October are typically hot but luckily fall 2021 it wasn't unbearable. I had this cute little retro fan that I kept going in my room and always had my window open. I know pretty much everyone in res had some type of fan. I'm from Ontario so I can handle the heat well but I know some people found no AC a bit more uncomfortable. My friend who lives in the attic had it the worst but she survived haha. Overall, I'd say it's not really a major issue and it didn't factor into my decision to live in res. But everyone is obviously different :)
@@bela.at.trinity Thx !!
Wait so when applying, can you specify a preference for Trinity proper vs st-Hilda or no? Also I heard that bathroom at UofT are non-gendered, is this true for all single-room dorms or is there exceptions in certain parts of the university? Also, I heard a rumor that one of the colleges at UTSG only accept students with an average of
When you apply for residence after getting accepted to Trin & UofT, you rank preferences for res. My res floor was an all-girls floor and a girls bathroom. Some halls are mixed gender with mixed gender bathrooms. You rank on your residence application what you want. Across the university, as is the norm in Canada, there are male, female, and all-gender +accessible bathrooms. Trinity is the most academically prestigious college at the university and while academics isn't the only reason you get accepted, I don't know a single person at Trin who didn't do exceptionally well in high school. I don't know about my friends' averages as that is pretty irrelevant once you come to uni but mine was in that range.
@@bela.at.trinity Thanks for the detailed explanation, I think I understand the situation better now! Really gonna have to lock in this semester 🙏🙏
hey! i had a quick question. When I logged in into my StarRez application, I couldn't find an option that directly made me choose trinity for residence. The only option I could choose there was that I didn't want to live in the Chestnut Residence. I was really confused, did you choose ur residence while applying or when you got on campus?
Hmmmmmm. You only apply for res once you have your acceptance, so I’m assuming that if you’re just seeing that option, it is one of the first stages of applying for res. You get assigned your room by the summer. I wish I could be more help, I suggest emailing Trin and have them walk you through it.
@@bela.at.trinity ohhh! okay, tysmm!!
Thank you Bela.
Hi! Can you explain any pros or cons that you know of about having a single or double?
Most of my friends have singles and we all love having our own space sooo much. It's especially nice for being able to study in your room because you can stay up as late or wake up as early as you like without being disturbed/disturbing a roommate. Just personally, I would never want a roommate lol. I know a few of my friends who got doubles with friends this year and now those friendships are pretty much gone. That's obviously not everyone but I have seen it happen a lot. I'd say if you get to choose and can afford it, get a single. I've heard the argument that you can make a best friend for life from your fist-year roommate but I don't really agree with that. I've made best friends and we have wonderful memories in each other's rooms but then it's nice at the end of the night to go home to your own space. Plus if you have a relationship, having your own room is obviously much better. I hope this helps in any way :)
Nice
You showed a notebook with class notes. Do most students hand write notes or use a computer to take notes (or some other device to record lectures)?
hmmm it's hard to give an easy answer to this. I would say most people use technology(either typing on a computer or writing with an iPad) for taking notes rather than a physical notebook. It also really depends on the subject. My best friend and I both used paper notebooks for our economics courses since mathy stuff is better on paper I think. For my history and politics classes I typed my notes, as do most people I'd say. But for my earth science class I exclusively used my iPad to annotate the presentation slides and a physical notebook for learning and memorizing concepts. So it really varies per person and subject.
Quite a weird question to ask but who cleans/maintains the bathroom area? The students themselves or is there any help available for it?
the cleaning staff! I'm pretty sure they're supposed to do it every day but that's a bit questionable
Great job Bela👍
How do you apply for the specific colleges? Ive already completed the UofT application, but are there extra steps to apply to trinity itself?
when I did my uoft application, it asked me to rank my choice of colleges. I ranked Trinity first, and then was asked to fill out Trin's separate application.
Does anyone know anything about Trinity foundation course? I just graduated from high school this year. I want to apply for the preparatory program of Trinity, but I don't know nothing about it😢
If you’re talking about Trinity One, that is not a “prep” course for Trin, that is just a special stream of courses you could take in first year that any uoft first year can apply to take. If you’re talking about Trin Orientation stuff that they do in the summer, you’ll get emails for that.
When will you do the video about history courses? Entering Trinity in the fall of 2022 in math but want to double major in history in my second year.
hiii sorry, I've been busy this summer with my study abroad course, hopefully one day lol?
Math & History are both interesting, but they don't go well together as a university education, because of the obvious fact that they don't lead to profession.
You will regret this decision when job recruiters ask you about your study choices. I'd recommend STEM if Maths is your Major.
@@JuicexlxLook at the work of Statistics Canada where the do link the two. Statistics is the desired focus for mat. Lots of jobs for data majors.
where’s the bathroom area? do we get community bathrooms with single rooms?
each hallway has a community bathroom, you will share a bathroom with other no matter what type of room you have.
Hi can you send me a link were i could see what a 2 bedroom dorm at st Hlidas looks like?
I don't have the floorplans that were passed around the freshers group chat last summer anymore but perhaps try google? Sorry I can't be of more help.
Hey
I’m an incoming student
And while applying for housing they only gave 2 options.
Can you help how can I choose a single room?
Hi! Without seeing Starrez in front of me, I'm not sure how much help I can be but we can try. What are the two options they give you? From what I can remember, choosing a single room is a few pages into the residence application, so maybe you just aren't at that section yet?
@@bela.at.trinity hey thanks for replying just want to tell you that I have been enrolled in the Langley branch.
Also can you help me with the total number of semesters per year?
I have never heard of the Langley branch. Are you sure we're talking about UofT? There are other Trinity Colleges in the world, one in America and Trinity College Dublin in Ireland. That's my only thought!@@nanditamiglani
Waiting for yr next vlog
Thank you for your video!!! I will live on the third floor of Seager(also in the trinity proper). Do you know what the third floor looks like? =)
literally a copy of my floor! a few times I would make the mistake of trying to open what I thought was my room but turned out to be the wrong floor lol.
@@bela.at.trinity ohh I got it! Thank you so much! I love your room decoration so much! ❤
you're so sweet, see you around in the fall!@@victoriacao5707
yeahh!!!@@bela.at.trinity
🔥🔥🔥
May I ask a question? Is it hard to get into Trinity College?
It is selective. You have to do a separate application for it and I know very intelligent people who haven't gotten in. I would say yes? haha
Getting off your shoes inside the house is a huge Asian thing 😊😊😊 anyway beautiful room 🥰
did you get a single room because of your allergies too?
@@bembywemby I’m not sure, it certainly could have factored in because I made note of it and requested a single room for that reason, but I also did indicate that a single was what I wanted anyways!
@@bela.at.trinity ohh ok lol me too also since you've been in trinity college more recently than the other people i know, how was the quality of food? that's like the biggest thing i'm worried about
@@bembywemby it totally sucked when I was there for two years but of course the first year I was in an apartment, they revamped everything. Seems to be better now! I have to say, allergy-wise, they’re pretty incompetent and I got sick a few times, once really badly. As you can see a bit in this video, I had a lot of my own foods to eat and tried to limit how much dining hall food ate, especially in important times when I couldn’t afford to be sick. It definitely takes some adjusting and time to find things you feel good about eating but I wouldn’t change anything about staying in res, even though I had the - freshman fifteen lol.
@@bela.at.trinity ok thank you soo much, also what allergies did you have?
@@bembywemby I’m allergic to eggs and peanuts, so I’m an epipen girl for life aha. I’m assuming you have allergies too, if you want to reach out privately and chat more about it, I’m here to help!
Small dorm rooms but charming.
It's honestly bigger than all my friends' rooms who go to uni in the US or at other Ontario unis!
@@bela.at.trinity Able to fwd email? Profitez de votre ete benediction, Bela.
Which course do you study this college?
I'm under the faculty of arts and science - I study history + European languages and politics
@@bela.at.trinity I wanna talk to you so plz share any social media accounts
What dorm is this?
it was a female section of Trinity proper
Ah yes.. . The training of the lifestyle one might be expected to live on being trained in a school/college/university..
.. The d corym, the etiquette of people sure to be encountered in that profession someone being trained in..
.
Yes, how wholistic..

How much do you have to pay for dorms?
