    Does applying to res early help you get your first choice or no?

    Did you have fun living at O Hall? I've heard it's not as much of a social atmosphere at Med Syd or Deli.

    Hey Marisa! Your video is very helpful! Do you know if the meal plan balance can be carried forward to the upper years? Do I have to spend a certain minimum amount in year 1?

      whatever you don’t use gets turned into equivalent flex dollars which u can use at locations across campus!

    hi! i’m thinking of going to western for medical sciences and applying to OHall for res! do you know how far it would be from the science buildings/where you would typically have your lectures?

      ohalls definitely the farthest! about 20 minutes...

    Hi, i’m planning on doing residence at western this fall but the only thing stopping me is the diversity. do you find that the environment has a lot of diversity?

    • @MarisaWong
      @MarisaWong  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      really good Q! i think there is if you look for it/are in the right mindset. overall ofc, it is mostly
      white but you can always find your cubits through clubs and events as well! the caf does a good job of at least recognizing some major cultural events

    hi marisa! i have a question about res lottery, is the roommate option randomized in the lottery as well or do you get to pick whether or not you have a roommate aside of the residence lottery?

    • @MarisaWong
      @MarisaWong  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      the single or double room is along with the randomization i think! but if you apply w a roommate your chances of a double together are better i think! not 100% but u can email residence advisors!
