It tells them where and how to get reduced cost housing for the ASA meetings. Brian >you may want to let your phd students that cheap housing is available at the university of toronto dorms/residences, & that the university is a short (15-20 minute) walk or subway/streetcar ride away from the sheraton & hilton, where the ASA meetings will be held. > >here's info. concerning dorms (gleaned from the U of T phone book on monday). first, you should know that U of T, like british universities, is organized into distinct colleges. vic, trinity, & st. mike's residences are closest to the conference hotels; UC & innis residences are only marginally further away (5 minutes more). all will be very safe (this IS toronto) & probably clean. it wasn't clear from the phone listings whom to call, but the following offices & #s looked appropriate: > >victoria college room allocations (residences): 416/585-4523 >victoria college director of residences: 416/585-4522 > >trinity college room bookings/conferences: 416/978-8680 > >st. michael's college general inquiry: 416/926-1300 > >university college residence inquiries: 416/978-2532 > >innis college residence office: 416/978-2512 > >i saw a notice outside one of the UC residences indicating that rooms could be rented for $90/week; this suggests that students can stay VERY cheaply at all the U of T residences. ..-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
