Living at Innis Residence

As somebody who’s never lived in a dorm before, Innis is a pretty great place to live.

First and foremost, it’s hard to imagine a more convenient location for down and out college kids. To get to the subway, all you have to do is walk five minutes north and cross Bloor street. To get groceries, you have to walk maybe seven minutes west on Bloor to get to Metro, the main supermarket in the area (though there are cheaper stores along the way). If pushing a cart wears you out, all you have to do is cross the street and grab dinner. Where there’s lots of bars and ethnic restaurants (may I recommend OG Gyros)? If you want to go shopping, turn east on Bloor, walk ten minutes and pick yourself up a Prada handbag. You deserve it.

Inside Innis, it’s pretty clean (as long as you keep it that way). I suggest checking out this promo video:




Along with the website:


Innis offers a lot to keep you comfortable when you’re not at work. There’s a few TV and gaming rooms, a gym, a piano room (if you’re so inclined) and everybody’s favorite, laundry rooms! (on the even numbered floors).

As a student intern, everybody gets their own bedroom, but you share a suite with 2-4 other students. Each suite comes with a moderate sized stove, a fridge and plenty of cabinet space for cookware and spices.

As you can see, a typical bedroom at Innis has plenty of room for packrats like me:

Perhaps there’s no place like home, but Innis comes pretty close.
