TALLWOOD LIFE HACKS: - Call Shaw to ask for cable TV, it is included in your rent! They will come and install a modem for you. Just byoTV - You can borrow ping pong gear from Gage front desk - To have the 18th floor study lounge all to yourself, simply turn off the fuse switch for the key card reader - Your student card can be your room key, ask one of the (younger) gage front desk staff - The closet doors make excellent tables if you have an adjustable wrench - Remove your faucet aerators and replace with $2 home hardware ones to get better water flow - You can use a Collegium locker on the 1st floor! Just ask the staff inside for permission. - the second last dryer on the right will give you double the drying time if you set it to "hot".... no one knows why. Try it! THE BAD: - The sinks give off a measly amount of water. (45 seconds to fill a 1L bottle) See above for fix - The furniture is 2/10 in the comfort scale. Bring pillows, mattress toppers, and sneak in your own furniture to make the living spaces comfy. - The elevators break down on a weekly basis. - Tallwood has poor representation in the Gage Residence Association and should probably form it's own government ASAP. Events are poorly advertised and have low attendance. - You can't access the Collegium, even on weekends when the kiddos aren't there - south facing rooms get roasting hot in summer and suffer from light pollution from North Parkade The Good: - 1/4 of rooms have a DROP DEAD GORGEOUS view of Howe sound (Top 9 floors, facing North) - Rent is $950/mo for Quads, $1150 for Singles. At those prices, Quads have amazing value and more square feet per person than a single anyway! - Fewer fire alarms than nearby Walter Gage The FYI: - There is one RA every 3 floors. (3,6,9,12,15,18) - you can host parties with up to 25 (but hey, who's counting!) guests in a Quad. Ask your RA for a form. - ODD NUMBERED ROOMS (i.e: 905, 1113, 1805) face north and have the great views. EVEN NUMBERED ROOMS (202, 1808, 1316) face South over campus. All quads face east/ west and above the 6th floor you are guaranteed a nice view in the Quads. - heating only works when all windows are closed. There is no A/C

I just moved in to my beautiful room at Tallwood House, and love it!!!
