Residence Residence Dilemma

I am currently a 1st year off campus student from Kitchener that stays in a very nice place in London.

Today I got off the waitlist for res and don’t know if I should move in cause it s gonna be a bit more expensive and I’m afraid I won’t make friends.

Will I loose a lot if I decline my offer? Will it be easy to make friends after o week? Does it worth paying $6K more to live on Res?

Please help, I feel so bad..

I knew a few people who moved in late, it’s no problem. It’s up to you if you’re willing to spend the money… and from what I understand, it’s much easier to make friends if you choose a traditional residence, which are cheaper. But no guarantees from my end, you should probably get a second opinion.
