Hey lets just open this one up to talk about all of the different rez's @ waterloo.

Which rez did you pick and why?

Well I ranked UW residences as number one but I kind of regret that because the college ones sound even better lol. They seem more tight, it's just I wasn't sure if I'd be the only one that wasn't EXTREMELY religious because they all have chapels and some have special "church days" lol. But I figure that whatever residence that I'm assigned to will be fine as long as it's not the suite type of residence or with more than one dorm mate. After UW residences I ranked St. Jeromes as #2, Renison as #3, St. Pauls as #4 and Conrad Grebel as #5. What about you guys?

I ranked UW residences as #1 because I heard that REV was great, many people but a nice community feel and I've visited that particular residence. V1 also sounds pretty good and I like the fact that if I want a single room that I can get one lol.

I ranked St. Jeromes as #2 because of the meal plan, the location and tight community feel that is portrayed in their booklet.
I ranked Renison as #3 because of the same reasons as above and the fact that they match you with your roommate by actually reading the residence info.
I ranked St Pauls as #4 because I liked the dorm room layout but not much else.
I ranked Conrad Grebel as #5 because I just didn't feel like I belonged there lol.

I didn't really get to choose a rez, I choose the LLC so now I'm in Village 1. I figured that it'd be a lot better for my grades, rol. I was kinda torn between REV and Village 1; but I kinda want a single room.

University of Waterloo - Mathematics/Chartered Accountancy '13

All you UWaterloo haters will go to hell. Say "Hi" to Katy Perry for me.

does anyone wish they had ranked college universities as number one? I think I hopefully still have a chance of living in one lol..it's just St. Jeromes and Renison sound a lot better than the UW residences..do you agree or disagree with that statement?

Is it too late to change it to St. Jeromes to #1 rather than #2. REV seems like the party residence but still not like the greatest community feel. Is St. Jeromes is closer to the arts faculty buildings compared to REV. I love the whole meal plan aspect of theme nights and community dinners because I eat dinner with my family every night. Do any current UW St. Jeromes residents have any opinions about that?

Why don't you just call them??
I found out that it is the fastest way to find an answer.
Personally, I think you can still change the rez order as long as you contact with the rez office.. (Im not sure!!)
I strongly suggest you to call or email them asap...
btw, im going to st.jeromes.. ^^

I was able to change the university residence rankings and I'm soo happy about that!

I ranked them in the following order:
#1: St Pauls--new cafeteria that looked like a nice restaurant, I ended up liking the dorm room layout, they have meal times lol plus you can have fish in the room which may be nice to have lol
#2: Renison--people decide who shares a room rather than a computer, I've always liked it for some reason
#3: St. Jeromes-I like the theme meals but I just didn't like the sink in the bedroom
#4: UW Residence: I feel as if there isn't as great of a community feel, no meal times, the cafeteria wasn't nice in my opinion
#5: Conrad Grebel: I don't really like it but I don't know why lol

I think it might just be weird sharing a residence facility with people that are not in their first year because it means that i won't meet as many people that are my age which is a big deal but in the end i think liking a residence is more important than living in the same residence facility as someone else. lol

Did anyone else apply to st pauls? Personally, I'll be happy with any residence I live in lol

As far as I know there are no triple rooms in REV next year.


That's from the UW Forums. [ http://strobe.uwaterloo.ca/urp/forum2008/read.php?10,681,681#msg-681 ]

I have friends who were in UWP and they said that there wasnt too much social life, although they were stuck on an all guy floor. Cooking wouldnt be too much of a hassle if you like cooking anyway. Plus, UWP is on the opposite side of UW than the other rez buildings, its mostly math, cs, and engineering kids from what I know.

I was in REV and I energetically promote it whenever I can. It was one of the best experiences of my life. There were 48 people on my floor and only 2 of the 24 rooms had roommate problems. I was also in the wing that has no dividers in the centre of the room and I it made it even better, it was amazing how many people we could fit into those rooms for parties. And even though theres no set 'dinner time' we would almost always meet up with a group of people around dinner to eat, and late night expeditions to the V1 caf with a large group around midnight were routine.
