haha, around here it's a different batch of girls looking for parties. You never see the same girls twice, not sure if that is a good or bad thing...

Transfer to a big school in a big city. It makes all the difference in the world. I have seen so many great lectures, performances, etc. at my current school (~55,000 students compared to 8,000 at the old uni). Being in a city also makes pretty much everything more vibrant.

I was thinking of transferring to the downtown campus of U of T. Downtown life is the shit.

I love being at university but hate coming home looking like i've been stricken with an immune disorder. I'm taking some cooking books with me this year!

Since this advice is coming from Conne, I suggest you do the exact opposite. He considers lectures and performances to be the defining qualities of a good school. Run.

Downtown Toronto life is exactly the same as life after university, trust me. You want the opposite - young women concentrated in one place (campus, a small number of bars nearby) with nowhere else within cab distance. Transfer to a party school (UWO, Waterloo). Party school equals one where kids have to make new friends because they are far from their high school friends. If your university has 10% the population of the town you're in, that's a good thing. If it has 0.5%, that's a bad thing. The larger the number, the larger the number of kids who came from out of town.

I miss being in school, particularly junior high. Those were the golden years. I still can't figure out how I could have fun for an entire weekend with only $20 back then.

You hated it when 30-something guys were hitting on you? Don't lie. This is your second slip in as many days, RJ.

He was in his 40s, and it was flattering.

Don't you make money now? Just buy the 19 year old first years trying to make their way through college. Much easier!

It's about volume. You'll never replicate that in the real world. But if you think you can buy them, let me know when you get here and we'll hit it up.
