University of Toronto Residence : Trinity vs Chestnut

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Toronto

I am an international student and I have been accepted in University of Toronto ,trinity college for physics and mathematics . U of T has given me two residence choices.
Chestnut and Trinity College Residence.

I am literally confused between these two choices.
I have done a bit research and found out that trinity has old building and look like Hogwarts. it also has special dinner once a week where you have to wear gowns to dinning hall :smiley: . But there is no private bathroom and I have also heard that internet connection at trinity college residence is poor and heating sometimes does not works in winters. Whereas chestnut is more modern looking and has better and spacious rooms and also has private bathrooms. I would like to be in trinity because it look like Hogwarts,seriously what else you want, but the only thing that is stopping me from ranking trinity residence as my first choice because its has poor internet connection and also has no private bathrooms. And I also want to know which residence will be closer to physics and mathematics lecture halls. Please guys help me to choose a good residence.

There are no private bathrooms but the common bathrooms are clean.

5

There are no air conditioning in trinity residence. I want to know that if summers are tolerable with just normal fan.
I am international student so I don’t know much about the Canadian weather.

I lived in the Trinity residence for two summers when I was an undergrad and was fine with no air conditioning. That was a long time ago though and I wasn’t used to having air conditioning. There are only a few spots available in Trinity for summer residence. As well, residence in Trinity for second, third and fourth years is not guaranteed and is kind of hard to get.
