Air Conditioning

All rooms at Morrison Hall are air-conditioned (this is why rent is slightly higher at Morrison Hall). Rooms in Whitney Hall are not air-conditioned, but they are all equipped with a ceiling fan. Guests staying at Whitney during the hot weeks of the summer may wish to bring their own personal fan.

Linen

Residents are provided with one blanket and one pillow. Residents must provide their own sheets (for a single bed) and towels.

Shared washroom facilities, including toilets and showers, are located on all floors. Washrooms are coed (shared by both sexes). Toilet and shower stalls are private and can be locked from the inside.

Morrison Hall and Whitney hall have small, shared kitchens. The kitchen facilities in Morrison Hall are rather limited. There are five small kitchenettes on different floors that are each equipped with one microwave oven and one fridge. Whitney Hall has eight kitchenettes on the upper floors, as well as two larger kitchens on the main floor. Whitney's larger kitchens are each equipped with two regular-sized ovens, a microwave oven and a fridge. Kitchens in Whitney Hall are available only to Whitney residents.

Telephones

Telephones are not provided in residence rooms. Each room is equipped with a telephone jack. Summer residents who wish to have telephone service in their room must arrange this directly with the provider (e.g., Rogers or Bell) at their own cost. There are public payphones in Whitney Hall.

Application Form

Applications will only be accepted from persons who are students or staff at any college or university in the world.

All applications must include a Visa/MasterCard number to guarantee your reservation. This number will only be charged $175.00 if you do not show up on your arrival date, or if you cancel your reservation less than two weeks before your arrival date.

Rent and your key/damage deposit must be paid when you arrive to pick up the keys to your room. Rent can be paid by Visa, MasterCard, Interac, or cash. If you are paying by Visa or MasterCard, make sure to have the card with you. We cannot use the number written on your application form.

Completed application forms should be mailed or faxed to the address and number at the bottom of the application. Applications can also be dropped off at the Whitney Hall porter's office at 85 St. George Street. Do not email your applications -- we do not have a secure server to protect your credit card number.

Specific rooms are not assigned in advance. You may request a specific room, and we will try to honor your request, but we cannot guarantee that we will be able to do so.

Persons requesting a twin room in Whitney Hall must provide the name of the person with whom they will be sharing the room. Both persons must submit a separate application and Visa/MasterCard number in order to reserve a twin room.

Applications do not guarantee accommodation. They will be considered based on availability.
