At Guelph, all first years are guarenteed rez spaces if they get their application in on time. They even built new residences, but get this, only second years and up can live in it. If housing is such a problem why build housing that frosh can't live in. Most people at Guelph move off campus anyway in their second year.
I can see the double cohort as being a big problem, but maybe we're making it out to be much more of an issue than it really is. My brother is in the double cohort year. He's the last class to do OAC. However, he's not planning on going to school after he graduates. He's planning on taking at least a year off to work, and to travel and decide what he wants to do. Most likely he'll go to college, because that's what's going to get him a job. After I graduate I'm planning on going to college. Cause really, what am I going to do with a BA?
Because Greek life isn't a huge part of university life in Canada, especially on my campus, using frat or sorority housing, might be a problem. Guelph isn't allowed to have houses for GLO's.
Kids are graduating earlier, but maybe they think twice about going to school right after they graduate because of the increased number of students. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

P.S Lil_G what's wrong with using the term frat? Why are you surprised?
