UoGuelph informs first-year students that residence spots are not guaranteed

According to CTV News, the University of Guelph recently informed incoming first-year students that they would not be guaranteed a spot in residence this fall. CTV News reports that this has caused stress and anxiety among incoming students, who say that campus tour guides last fall had reassured them that there “would be no problem getting accommodations for residence.” Incoming students also reportedly received an email that stated that there are currently over 1,000 people on the residence waitlist. In a statement, UoGuelph said it is working on a resolution. “We are still confirming the final number of students who have completed their residence applications,” read the statement.
