I'm starting at Kent this fall too -- any info about things to do/places to go around Kent/Akron/Cleveland would be appreciated

Thanks Bruno! I'll be visiting Kent this weekend to look for an apartment -- I'm sure that I'll be pestering you with more Kent questions once I get back

Clinical Psych -- you??

I am!

Hi, re: hydro -- it's your electrical bill. Toronto can be really expensive, but there are relatively cheap apartments around if you do a little hunting. Check out viewit.ca and the Toronto Star online classifieds to get an idea of what's around. If you're going to York U and don't have a car, but still want to be somewhat "downtown" -- I would suggest sticking near the NW end of the University subway line (e.g., Dupont, St Clair W. stns) to keep your commute bearable. Someone mentioned that they want to be close to U of T as well -- living close to Dupont stn might be a good compromise. The neighbourhood is quite nice (north Annex) and Dupont & Bathurst/Spadina/St George is about 10min bike ride/20min walk to Robarts (big U of T library). York U may have a off-campus housing office that can help you find a place if you're not having much luck. I grew up in the area, went to U of T, etc -- give me a shout if you have questions about specific neighbourhoods, transit routes, etc. Good luck! I'm sure you'll love it here

Hi, Kent is pretty close to Akron, so I thought I'd post here instead of starting a new thread... Just looking for any thoughts re: how necessary a car will be to live in Kent. I was hoping to bike until the snow hit and hold off on buying a car until Nov/Dec. Am I being delusional? Thanks -amanda
