Stay Overnight! You can bunk in at McGill between May 15 and August 15 when residence rooms are available to all. The Royal Victoria College is the best-located residence, because it's right downtown. Major leg action is needed to climb up Mount Royal for McConnell, Molson, Gardner, and Douglas residences. (Parking is available.) Single rooms are the norm. You have to share a bathroom and kitchenette with others on the same floor, but the rooms are quite comfortable. Linens and towels are provided. The 1997 rates for single rooms were $29/one night, $160/one week, $385/one month. The Solin Hall prices are $25 for one night and $300 for one month. There is also space at Laird Hall at the Macdonald Campus. It's super cheap at $15/night or $60 per week. (30-minute drive from downtown.)

Bask in Barbados Pity the University of Toronto. When Commander Bellairs wrote offering his Barbados residence to the University, they didn't take him seriously. McGill did. Now alumni can book rooms at the beachside research institute. Warning: rooms are very basic dormitory style - unless you nab a room at Bellair's former house on the beach. Prices range from US$395 per week to US$17 per night. Fax: (246) 422-0692 Phone: (246) 422-2087 / (246) 422-2833 / (246) 422-2034 E-mail : bellairs@sunbeach.net
