University of Toronto - Wilson Hall Residence

Very noisy and uncomfortable ! You can hear doors opening and closing non stop especially in the afternoon and evening. No soundproof. You can hear everything. Maybe it's better to pay a little more and get a real hotel.

I stayed here during the best times in the summer (May). This place is extremely depressing. The halls are very barren, with poor lighting. The common room had almost nothing working. There is no fridge. There is one sink shared between dozens of student. The sofa were extremely deteriorated. The room is very very small. Fits exactly one person. Don't expect friends to visit or stay. The AC is turned on 24/7 and makes noise. You cannot shut off the AC. The bathroom can be extremely gross most of the weeks. Because of the cheap housing, the place has attracted some weird characters. I saw one old gentleman doing some hard drug in the 4th floor common room. Ask anything for the staff, you will get an email that begins with "Unfortunately...". This is their default response. Is there anything fortunate around here? I would give this place a 0 star rating if weren't for its convenient location. The best part about staying at new college is the part of getting out of there first thing in the morning and taking a nearby TTC to a place far away.

Witmore Hall at the New College, U of T, is a cheap summer residence. But It is full of students from India who stay here for three months and leave the kitchen filthy every evening after long hours of Indian cooking. The toilet seats in the toilets are splashed with urine most of the time. Complaining to the staff on duty is useless since they do little to correct the various problems. Getting more responsible staff would be a first step in improving the conditions at a residence that belongs to a large Canadian university.
