"i think this is really unfair, and unexpected. many of us were depending on student housing and for some people who have a very demanding school schedules (like theatre students) are being forced to live off campus, which is just unacceptable"

"As a concerned parent I feel that this method of selection was poorly considered. More credible information should have been used for selection (such as previously stated gpa, etc) rather than playing a game of chance. This lottery seems especially inapro"

"STUDENTS generally CAN'T AFFORD to be RIPPED OFF $100.00. Shame on you housing office! SHAME!"

"You owe everyone that paid the confermation fee a refund of said fee. When accepting cash under an agreement, and then changing the agreement later, you have cheated people out of money, and are no better than a con artist."

"If anything at all, the housing office should at least explain why it chose to use the method that it has. Furthermore, it should have discussed it with members of the Student Union, Chalet Union and Resident Union. As seen, it is when such decisions are "

"I have been waitlisted... and I believe this lottery system to be completely unfair. I have lived on campus for 2 years, and I was under the impression that I would have the opportunity to live there again because I was previously placed on campus. The fa"

"After living in the apartments for the past three years, it was a shock to see I was put on the waiting list for housing for the upcoming fall semester. I luckily have a place to live, but many others who have been put on the wait list will not be as fort"

"The person or committee who came up with the idea of a random draw for student housing obviously did not have the students in mind when it came to making a solution for the limited housing problem. They just thought of a simple, quick solution to a deep p"

"I think it's awful that housing was determined on a lottery basis this year. How do you expect students to feel, that have lived in residence previous years, to feel when they find out this year that they're number 40 or 50 on the waiting list!!!"

"I got in but all the people that I applied to live with did not after living in rez and the apts for the last two years. This is not fair to them and what was the point of me applying to live with people if I can't even live with them....Theres something "

"I have been accepted into the housing system, but If I was chosen via lottery rather than the fact that after 4 years i've pumped enough money into Grenfell's Housing, then I don't want to be associated with an orgainization like this one."

"This is rediculous. Out of province students should have priority, then fine Arts students. We are at the school at all hours of the morning working on Assignments and other projects this is rediculous!!!"

"I am not a current student at SWGC but I was for the past five years and I feel that they have done a horrible injustice to their students. I always thought that the apartments were meant for mature students who could live and make decisions on their own,"
