Alright, in the fall it looks like I will be moving to Barrie. I was going to the University of Windsor, hated it, took a year off and now I’m going to head to Georgian College in the fall. ANY-ways… I am searching for a place to stay (I’d rather not stay in a residence). I’m not asking to room with anyone here, but I need some leads because I don’t know anyone who lives there! If anyone can help me out, it’d be appreciated. ---

you hated windsor eh, i actually applied there for automovtive engineering, got an early acceptance, what didn’t you really like about it. It would be better if i knew about all the bad things now instead of pour money into the university. ---

Actually as a school it was my kind of place. It was very relaxed, with a small campus. It’s not the most academic school in Ontario of course, but the engineering school is quite good, as well as Law and Business. I was in a double major program, Honours Business and Computer Science. Just turned out to not be what I wanted, or liked learning - could have been anywhere. Windsor as a University is not bad at all. Unless you graduate top of your class at Queens or Waterloo, a degree is a degree, and Windsor is more laid back and unimposing than most. ---

But windsor seemed like a nice school, and the auto-engineering is good there because IIRC, chrysler, GM, and maybe ford, do alot of research there and give the auto-engineering alot of money, and hands on experience.
