paying 100 bucks a week for the food u get is such a rip off, its not worth it at all
u could spend less than that in self catered, and learn to cook, fend for urself, and enjoy GOOD FOOD!

like i said it comes down to personal preference.

But keep in mind, you have to buy, cook and clean everything. I only go into civic for clothes shopping + alcohol lol.

$100 a week? i'm a 6'4" male so i dont think i could live off that lol.

I'd spend more than $100 dollars a week on food as well (and I already spend a fair bit on food outside meal times). And yes, I can't fend for myself :rolleyes:

on a completely different note:

when they say no pets at all, does that also mean fish?
I'm going to want something to replace my dog..
even if it is a fish and i don't like fish all that much.


well at all actually..

3 bed-room mutishare looks good but there is always the risk of a personality clash.

I would rather 2 bedroom.
Just because there would be less people.

More quite time when study and so forth is needed.

Having just one room-mate wouldn't be too good unless the two of you got along really well imo. With 3, it's a crowd so it's not THAT neccessary.

Sure do.
Am thinking of changing majors though. But same degrees.

As to the question about the Fish.
I would say you would be able to keep fish, although if they really enforce the rules. Then it would be a no?

$100 a week on just food (if you don't count entertainment/booze) is luxury!

I think i spend about $100 on entertainment a week now.
Or just under.

So yeah i suppose its easy to live off.

Can't you do your own meals for like $10 a night?
Which in that case will become $70 per week?
