The Grad Club!!!!! Not to be missed. Also, the TirNaNog, Alfies, and the QP are good fun. Stages, AJs and the Cocomo are mainly for grinding and picking up.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Living in the "ghetto" was a great experience. You are fairly close to campus and you have the opportunity to meet a lot of students.

Personal comments
In general, the university residences are good. West Campus is about a 10 minute walk from main campus, but other than that all of the rez's are very close. However, as an international student it is best to search the International Housing website and find new and interesting housemates. The people that live in rezs are mainly first year students and there is not a lot of diversity within that group.

Personal comments
Do not shop at A&P, they rip you off. Live close to campus, it is worth the extra rent, you will save it by not taking cabs. Try to live east of campus as opposed to west, that way you are closer to Princess (downtown).
