It may not be as [COLOR=\"Red\"]close as delaware to classes[/COLOR], but it\'s not as far as saugeen, perth and essex are. You get a scenic walk across the bridge (our bridge...if you live in medsyd you\'ll get to \"take the bridge\" during oweek).

I live in Perth right now so I can offer you some insight, but my experience will differ from your experience. 7 K$ C' i# v7 R0 E, n. l3 @5 @" J

- Food: definitely a lot better than Essex, nowhere close to Saugeen. Because of it\'s size, everything in Saugeen is fresh daily (cookies, fruit, sushi, etc.) & they also have more selection (more types of cereals to choose from, a daily stir-fry bar, etc.) whereas in a smaller residence, it wouldn\'t be eaten so quickly so they can leave the same desserts out for 3 - 4 days. People say that food is the same everywhere, but that\'s not true: Delaware\'s cookies are more oily than Saugeens (dab it with a napkin and it turns transparent); the interactive specials at Essex are horrible (ie. Pasta bar, Curry bar, Perogi bar); only the traditional & Perth residences have snack bar (though in a suite-style, you can just make your own snack, but the snack bar serves pizza, gelato, etc.) and [COLOR=\"red\"]many people in Essex cross the road at 10pm at night just to get food.

, o2 z7 g7 \' y- Meeting people: It\'s really easy to meet people, the trick is to stay in touch. I met tons of people during O-week (during the activities, in the dining hall, in the common lounge, exercise room, etc.) but you can\'t maintain close friendships with 50+ people, so most of the time you\'ll be close with your floor but not so much with the rest of the building. Even in Saugeen, my friends are mostly close with their floor and not the people living six units above them. You could probably meet more people in Saugeen, but you won\'t be forging close friendships with every single one of them, you\'ll probably be close with maybe 20. And that\'s the exact same # of people you could meet/get close with in Perth/any suite-style.

Perth is awesome. I think we have the most competitive soph team (60+ applicants for just 26 spots), [COLOR=\"red\"]it\'s got Mac\'s (convenient if you run out of toothpaste or toilet paper in the middle of the night) & Subway close by[/COLOR], you can take the bus to campus, and in my opinion, the hybrid style works perfectly because you still have a roommate / closeness but with the way the rooms are L-shaped, you still get some privacy & you can switch up the layout of your room in more ways (with suites/traditional, you\'re pretty much stuck with the way it came because of the lack of space).

If you\'re someone who\'s really big on cleanliness, I would pick suites. The bathrooms in traditional get really disgusting on the weekend. I know people who go to other floors to take a dump just because they don\'t want to get their own dirty/smelly. [COLOR=\"red\"]Randoms can enter and puke in there[/COLOR].(-_-)- a1 K' h6 m& P9 g
