Algonquin College Residence

[xAarz]

my grade seven ottawa trip we stayed in that building

[helpingperson777]

how much does it cost to live there?

[pmac29]

@helpingperson777 its about $6,558, but in first year you have to get the meal plan, which is an additional $1850, you would be better off living off campus, theres lots of apartments around algonquin, lots of apartment buildings

[0RespectMyAuthority0]

@tunnelofgoats yeah i live in rez and i just got busted by rez sec fucking morons

[CyncynJust]

How much does it cost per month? Is internet and electricity included?? Are you alone or you have a roommate??

[sparhawk16]

@CyncynJust It's really expensive. Everything is included and I had a roommate.

[destruxia]

Hey guys, right now I'm Grade 11 and I'm thinking bout going to college instead of military for my future job and if I do go to college I wanna go to Algonquin college in Ottawa and I was wondering if someone could tell me what college life is like, what the pros and cons are, and what it's like living in a dorm, thank u :)

[SenaPwns]

nice dorm! im going here next year, so excited :)

[movieguy1985]

[sparhawk16]

@movieguy1985 Sure is!

[sarapinsky]

[TheTdwpforever]

[sparhawk16]

@sparhawk16 TDWP!

[TheTdwpforever]

[pratieksharma]

Nice...



[0RespectMyAuthority0]

Ill be doin by BIT at algonquin/carleton see you guys there

[RemoteDuck]

This looks a lot like my room from res. I think we had the same bedroom! Weird.

[bingxing8791]

I am considering Bachelor Program of Hospitality and Tourism Managment at Algonquin (co-op). Any comments of School of Hospitality would be appreciated. Thank you so much!

[sparhawk16]

@bingxing8791 I really don't have a clue :( sorry! I do have a friend who is in the same program and she loves it. Hope this helps!

[bingxing8791]

@sparhawk16 Thank you!

[panamanubian]

@sparhawk16 Tell me more about your sex live at Algonquin...Im just kidding thanks for posting this vid. Is Ottawa any fund.

[sparhawk16]

@panamanubian hahahah was not expecting that. Ottawa is pretty fun. It's a fairly big city but with a small town feel. I'm not going to tell you it's more fun or that there are more things to do than in a big place like Toronto, but it has its fair share of things to do. Kind of vague, but there you have it :P

[kms539]

@bingxing8791

I know a fiew people who took that course and they really enjoyed it. Only heard good things.

[bingxing8791]

@kms539 Thank you! I am getting visa to Ottawa. If everything is okay, I will be there this Fall.

[kms539]

@bingxing8791

Congrats! and good luck in the fall! You should like algonquin

[bingxing8791]

@kms539 Thank you! Hope can see u on campus soon! :)

[kms539]

@bingxing8791

absolutely. Im in the police foundations course.

[bingxing8791]

@kms539 Wow, Police Foundations - one of top 10 programs of Algonquin, huh? Can I have your email address? I need your help with some quetions about the college and housing. Thanks in advance!

[kms539]

@bingxing8791

No problem. Im going to private msg you my e-mail

[bingxing8791]

@kms539 Thank you!

[exxxys]

Wow, I REALLY hope me and my friend get this size room.. I know some on the different floors are pretty small... I'm second year technically (thought first in my program) so I hope I get in :( :( :(

[sparhawk16]

@exxxys Good luck! Having rooms that size is awesome. Being able to get some time away from your roommate or even just to be able to study in quiet is something you'll appreciate.

[HandiBekki]

Hey, I live in Res now, I was wondering if you ever had a problem with mould? Or if you know anyone who did?

[TechnoJunkii]

@HandiBekki Im in res right now too... I did have a mold issue but there's steps to prevent it. Open your blinds and pull them to the side during the day. (Make sure nothing covers your windows) and when your in class, if you can, open your window. (I've used my blowdryer multiple times!) And mop up water as soon as soon it accumulates. This helps air flow :) Also, when you shower, turn of the fan before, during, and keep it running for an hourish later... It sucks up moisture too.

[sparhawk16]

@HandiBekki I had a bit near my window but not too bad. Keeping the fan going after your shower is key. I had some behind the wall, but that's because the guy upstairs left his kitchen sink on and went to class :/

[kms539]

@HandiBekki

Just moved out of rez too and my roommate had mad mole taken out of her ceiling and my friend had to switch rooms cuz of mold.

[kms539]

@HandiBekki

mold* haha mole

[TBSArmstrong]

What floor did you live in? I live in res right now, in White Section (4th floor).

[sparhawk16]

@TBSArmstrong I was on the 2nd floor.

[iMike360]

Wow, that is the exact same as my sisters dorm at UofO.

[RyanandBran]

I am going to Algonquin next year for the computer technician course. These dorms look great!

[noobifyjr]

hey man. do you know if the music program is good? and do you have to cook your own meals?(do you have a food card thing)?

[sparhawk16]

@noobifyjr Sorry, but I haven't a clue if the music program is any good. You don't HAVE to cook for yourself, but it can be fun. There's something like 7 places to eat on campus. Selection is pretty good. Anything from lasagna to stir-fry's.

[brendanvandyke]

Haha thanks for the reply, I was considering it but none of the programs I looked at had co op's, I guess I gotta keep looking

[brendanvandyke]

good college?

[sparhawk16]

@brendanvandyke Well, I can only give you my point of view. My program (Biotechnology Technologist) was terrible. So poorly organized. The teachers had no idea what we we're learning in any of our other classes, which can be pretty important when you're working in labs. I've heard similar things from people in other courses.

[RaventailBlacktalon]

Holy sh-- the kitchen alone is BIGGER than the ENTIRE rooms at Ridgetown college!

I'll be starting at Algonquin next week. Thanks for posting the video!

[sparhawk16]

@RaventailBlacktalon You're welcome :) The rooms ARE pretty big. It was nice to have your own room. I came from the same small town as my roommate, but when you want some time alone, it's not all that hard to come by.

[WOWman1919]

i see you had a sticky board in your room, but they said you cannot use tacks, how did you keep that up there?

[sparhawk16]

@WOWman1919 Tacks. :P The holes that tacks leave are so small, it's really a non-issue.

[BigAlexMusic]

how much was it?

[kiya01]

are there any black people at this college.. ? i am black , i just wanna know if its diversed ??

[sparhawk16]

@kiya01 Yeah man. It's a pretty diverse college. There are people of all ethnic backgrounds.

[ArtistofCrime]

How much does a two room rez cost?

[zacsgirlx]

did you have to purchase the shower curtain? or does the room come with one??

[sparhawk16]

@zacsgirlx Nah, you gotta buy one. Make sure it's not too long. Mine was and it was green with mold by the end of the year. Disgusting.

[paxy61]

I'm going to Algonquin College this Sept and stayin in res, pretty excited! Thanks for the vid:)

[paxy61]

Im going to Algonquin and stayin on res this sept! Pretty excited, thanks for the vid:)

[zacsgirlx]

haha your room looks bigger than your roomates! the dresser comes with the room correct?

[sparhawk16]

@zacsgirlx I brought the brown one, but the desk comes with.

[Phroxen37]

It's weird to see an empty table, no spider man hanging on the wall, no dicks or profanity drawn on our fridge, the smoke alarm isnt hanging from the ceiling, both of our phones are still hooked up and on the desk, and there isnt 2-3 bags of garbage on the floor.

[sparhawk16]

@Phroxen37 No kidding man. All my shit is neat and tidy. My bed is made, clothes aren't everywhere, no disgusting shits that aren't ours resting in the toilet. What a change hahaha

[CollegeExperience]

sweet rez, im actually thinking of going to Algonquin, how much is rez ?

[zacsgirlx]

@CollegeExperience res is round 6G + plus a 1800 meal plan so basically round 8-9 grand. its expensive. but tuition n stuff is cheap.

[musicalLover21]

thank you sooo much for posting this. im goin to algonquin next year and wanted to see the rez a little bit more than just a picture. thank you :)

[zacsgirlx]

@musicalLover21 you're goin to algonquin?? me too! :) what program??

[musicalLover21]

@zacsgirlx ya im goin there next year. im going for recreation and leisure studies. what program are you in?

[zacsgirlx]

@musicalLover21 im taking the paralegal program this year and then after this year im transferring into carleton university in ottawa for honours business law. yuppp. :)

[sparhawk16]

@zacsgirlx I was taking Biotechnology Technologist. I ended up not liking it, so I'm looking for something else. :) What are you taking?

[zacsgirlx]

@sparhawk16 im takin the paralegal program. but only for the first year, transferring out to go to university. decided on being a lawyer. haha. but whatevs this year will be a lot of fun! so does this mean i may see you on campus this fall?

[sparhawk16]

@zacsgirlx Oh that's cool. I know a couple people in the paralegal program. And yeah you may just see me around on campus! I won't be living in residence this year, but I'll probably be around.

[Dig2GoldZ]

@sparhawk16 I was planning on taking Bio Tech for the fall of 2011. Is it hard or is it something that you are not interested in.

[sparhawk16]

@Dig2GoldZ It wasn't really that hard. It was poorly organized. None of the teachers knew what we were doing in any of our other classes. One day you'd show up to a lab and the prof would ask us what we're learning in the theory class. We'd be doing labs that were 2 weeks ahead of the theory class.

The program is was introduced either 3 or 4 years ago, so it's still pretty crappy. Some profs honestly did not know what they were teaching. If you do take it, wait a week to buy books.

[Dig2GoldZ]

@sparhawk16 Ok, thanks for the advice! And good luck with your studies.

[sparhawk16]

@Dig2GoldZ We didn't even use most of the books I bought. I paid about $600 on books when I only needed about half that. Try and buy them used as well. If you try and sell back the new ones, you'll get about 1/4 of what you paid. Even in perfect condition.

[walkertexasranger33]

@sparhawk16 o ya books are mighty useless here

[TheTdwpforever]

@Dig2GoldZ me too dude! whats your name? haha im michael girgis lol

[Dig2GoldZ]

@TheTdwpforever My name is Chris, maybe we will be in the same classes next year xD

[TheTdwpforever]

@Dig2GoldZ nice that would be pretty awesome:D

[KitaDyer]

HERBAL ESSENCES

[XxLadyLunaxX]

Thanks for the video! I'll be living in residence there pretty soon!

Any good tips you can give me?

[ultradumbass]

i'm not going into a resident because literally all i need to do is take the 171 and then the 95 to baseline. but i am probably going there in 2010 if all works out and it is right now.

[AWPS3007]

Is that a regular room, or a sweet? either way it's really nice

[AWPS3007]

@AWPS3007 suite*

[zacsgirlx]

all of their rooms are like that

[zacsgirlx]

i applied to algonquin :) and def gna be in residence as well coz the rooms are sweet! i applied for the Paralegal program. nd im so pumped to go to school here :) thanks so much for the video! fall 2010 !!

[lynch390]

much better than Humber's rooms. I was at the open house, and they were much smaller.

[KeKeKumba]

Wish I lived in res, but there's not much of a point living only 15 mins away. Thanks for the vid, been wondering what the rooms were like.

[sparhawk16]

Yeah no problem. Before I came to Algonquin I had been wondering what the rooms were like, but there weren't any vids. So decided to make my own. They're the biggest of the three schools in Ottawa too. Carleton's res is a bit bigger than our individual rooms. And they have to share a bathroom with neighbours. So all in all, I think we struck gold.

Cheers.

[ohmyshititsjordan]

Hotel and Resort Management :D

[sparhawk16]

nice.

[ohmyshititsjordan]

haha, way nicer than cambrian lol

[sparhawk16]

I was accepted there.

Didn't take it obviously.

What are you studying?

[andrewvan31]

is this what the typical room looks like? just curious, headin there next summer

[sparhawk16]

Yeah this is the standard room.

It's pretty sweet actually.

There's basic cleaning every two weeks.

Someone comes in and cleans out your bathroom and your kitchen area.

100% wireless campus, free local calls in your room, etc.

I recommend staying in campus.
