dentaldoc Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 Hi guys, I am not from london and I have a few questions about the school- do you guys have 24 hr library service? If not, are there other quiet places where you can study?? Also, how convenient is bayfield appartments aside from the fact that its 5 min walk from DSB? is it quiet and worth 800 dollars + for rent?? Please UWOers I need your inputs! thanks so much:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaiNoremac Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 No 24 hour library except for closer to exams and weldon goes 24 hours for a couple weeks. UCC is 24 hours and it's usually pretty quiet if you want to be in there studying at 4am.. I'm OC so not sure about Bayfield..from what I've heard it's a nice area to be in if you expect to be on campus a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obi Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 I would suggest you do NOT get a place at Bayfield. While its nice to be close to campus the cost of residence is absolutely insane for what you're getting. You can get much nicer places in London for that price and honestly the bus system to UWO is pretty legit so transport isnt really an issue. You'll have dedicated study rooms that you can use IIRC but like the poster above me said, the UCC has cubicles on the third floor that are really good for late night studying EDIT: In bayfield you can get hooked up the the campus dc++ network. So i guess thats a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please UWOers I need your inputs! thanks so much:D There are also other buildings on campus, besides the UCC, that are 24/7. I know anyone can get into Social Sci (right across from Dentistry and Meds) as long as they swipe their student card at the door It's usually pretty quiet as well, especially at night. Weldon does turn to 24 hours close to undergrad exams, and they also have a bus system (additional to London transit) that goes to student neighbourhoods until 2:00ish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmorelan Posted July 20, 2012 Report Share Posted July 20, 2012 well we as med students have our own student space - card access is given to all medical students. There is not need to hunt around campus for space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medic101 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 added motivation to study hard for the MCATs! MUST. GET. CARD ACCESS. I've spent hours trying to find peaceful places to study during exam time. You must be enrolled in the soc sci faculty to get into soc sci after hours. My faculty throws us out of the building after midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverwhale9 Posted July 21, 2012 Report Share Posted July 21, 2012 Haha we can get in engineering buildings 24/7 with student cards. Anytime after like 10pm it is absolutely deserted so lots of places to study (or sleep). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentaldoc Posted July 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 thanks so much guys but it looks like I'm going to stay in bayfield... any other med/dent students who's going to live in bayfield? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost__in__space Posted July 24, 2012 Report Share Posted July 24, 2012 Careful with Bayfield, a grad student in my lab lived there and he had massive problems with rats and noise... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloyder34 Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 yea, although bayfield is close I don't think its worth its value. For the same price you could probably get a very nice apartment in one of the buildings downtown just off richmond. And the buses are great in london. In the mornings you could catch a bus from downtown on richmond and be at the school in 10-15 minutes and they drop you off right near the medsci building door. I've been in bayfield only once. Its not overly dumpy or anything, fairly large but a bit older, worth a look though if you are in town checking out apartments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pantaloons Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Re studying: Meds and Dents get 24h access to the medical science building which includes study room (individual study cubby-holes), classrooms, and computer lab. Meds/dents have separate student lounges (fridge, tv, stuffs), because we don't intermingle. Our blood is pure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pantaloons, are you the person who used to live in the first apartment building on Richmond after the university gates, if you are headed from downtown to Masonville direction? Not a stalker, we just did some bedside ultrasound clinic thing together and your landlady went bonkers about you when I was trying to rent a place in your apartment lol.
