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?

i know a couple people who were in rez this past year and i think they still had fun! i think i’ll always recommended rez if you can afford it!

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

2 жыл бұрын

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!

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?

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
