“Don’t settle. It’s your opportunity to explore.”

Activities: Nomadic pursuits, late night confessionals and a full time artoholic.

The best night out is: If you’re feeling funk, jazz and electro, head out to the Albion, in its past life time it was a hotel, now its remodeled into an art bar without pretense or elitism.

You have to eat at: The Bullring! An eclectic array of couches and tables, a beer menu, open mic nights, and the most comforting and delicious food on campus. If you’re feeling adventurous stop by the Carden Street Café, it has mouthwatering world cuisine dishes, and you’ll love the underwater and jungle inspired theme.

If you need to study, head to: The 5th floor of the library for a beautiful, yet distracting view of the sunset. You’ll need this when you’re on study-overdrive. When the library is at max capacity, venture out to the Science Complex: it has an infinity of plugs, tables and Second Cup!

My favourite class was: Visual Arts Today, this is where I fell in love with Art History. My Prof and my friend Alex inspired me to pursue something that I truly felt passion for.

The best thing about my school is: Guelph has a great sense of community, a fabulous Art History department, and it’s rated the best campus for food. After visiting the U of T campus, you’ll be thankful you chose Guelph. I never had to deal with freshman 15, and neither should you.

Make sure you avoid: Don’t call cabs after 11:30 pm. It’s nearly impossible to get one. For the care-free: Don’t lose your student ID on weekends. For the free spirited: Don’t settle, it’s your opportunity to explore yourself.

My favourite memory so far has been: Laughing uncontrollably with my roommates Rachel, Jasmine and Megan. This is a daily occurrence, we’re like a family. The best memories are the ones I’ve spent with them.

If I could sum up my school in one sentence, it would be: It definitely embodies the play hard and work hard mentality. Best of both worlds.

Any other hints? Get involved in as many extracurricular activities as possible, you’ll meet a ton of cool people, who share similar values as you!
