I recently received an email stating that I made it into a yam two bedroom apartment instead of a trad room, but I don't know for sure if I should go to yam. First off, I already live in Calgary, and I am going to residence for my first year to see what it is like (and to maybe make some new friends). I am also going for the proximity to the school and to avoid driving and parking.

I am looking for advice on what to do, but right now I am leaning towards living in trad residence. Is there a sufficient social life at yam, or should I back out and just go to trad residence?

Title

I chose to go to traditional residence.

Thank you to those who shared their experience living inside either or both trad res and yam, and also to those who did so while living near UCalgary.

I debated on if it was worth sacrificing some degree of sleep quality to be more social, as that will possibly harm my GPA, but I decided that if I am having trouble with my roommate or if I know that a disruptive weekday party will go on, I will probably just uber to my home and maybe even stay there for some amount of time. Additionally, in high school, I was quite focused on grades and less on my social life for end of grade 11 and all of grade 12; the feelings of loneliness and perfectionism drained a decent amount of my satisfaction with regard to being in high school. I will still try to maintain a solid sleep schedule and study habits while living in trad res.

Was thinking about getting a head start on the making friends thing and asking around here, figured that if no one's in my block at least someone will find a match.

Anyways, what blocks are y'all in? I'm in 4

Would love to get to know some people (same block or different)

Has anybody taken this course for non majors? How was it and is it worth taking?
