The first years at my school, however, not so much. I didn't expect guelph to really be a party school, but apparently it is? O-week is supposed to be booze free, but they aren't doing a very good job at keeping it that way. But the first years are really... not my kind of people. Come on, guys, you graduated from high school! Getting drunk and

Guelph is indeed a pretty nice little city, in my (admittedly somewhat limited) experience. I have a certain fondness for university towns of that type, because I grew up in a sequence of them (Ann Arbor, Michigan; Ithaca, NY; Kingston, Ontario). And every time I visit another one, part of me feels right at home, because it seems in a way like they're all different instances of the same town.

I had that experience the first time I went to Albany to visit lgbtech. We were walking through the part of town where most of the students tend to hang out, and I was telling her my theory about all university towns being really the same town. "Because look," I said. "There's the second hand bookstore, there's the trendy coffee shop, there's the cool record store, there's the vintage clothing store - I think the only thing we're missing so far is the funky pizza place where you can get 40 different toppings

Yes, I remember them! I also remember going to the COOLEST DAMN PLAYGROUND that was made of wood and had turrets and stuff. Also, if what you say is true, I really like university towns. I'm just going to stay here forever. The Canadian World Youth thing looks really cool! I was in the science building today and found a thing for teaching English overseas - otaku that I am, I would love to teach English in Japan.
