  • As someone who has worked in many kindergarten and elementary classrooms this happens all the time. It does not mean she’s anything special 🙄 Some kids attach easily and want that/need that positive reinforcements from the adults more than others. Sweet, yes but she seems to take it as a glowing review of her character 🙄






  • I was thinking the EXACT same thing but was too lazy to go back and check timestamps! At the very least, she would have already applied by then. Also Studio Arts at that particular school is a program that requires no portfolio so technically even inexperienced artists have a shot as well to work on their skill.





  • Tuition is about the same here. Residence looks like 6500-11,000 at Guelph depending on the room type. On top of that you also have to buy a mandatory meal plan for most residences (I think there are 1 or 2 you don’t need to because they have shared kitchens). Tuition is about 8000 but from my understanding that would be waived in this case as she has a parent who works at the University.





  • I have to agree. There’s a real housing crisis in Guelph, especially first years. Taking a spot when you live in the city and can easily commute takes a spot from someone else who doesn’t have the option to commute. At its peak the housing waitlist was 1356 I believe, mostly first years. Parents had a hard time finding off campus housing and many had to go elsewhere. I wouldn’t expect TBP to care about that though. Ideally they would just have enough residence spots for everyone though but apparently can’t count on Guelph to care about that either.

    I think it’s absolutely ridiculous it’s in the terms and they will do anything to avoid a payout

    BUT from my understanding this isn’t the whole story. It happened at a restaurant that has nothing to do with Disney. It’s renting a spot in Disney Springs and that’s the only affiliation. In this case, he should be going after the restaurant, not Disney IMO

    Also to add I cannot imagine losing a loved one in this way and somebody should absolutely pay but if he doesn’t go after the right people it could get dismissed. 50K is nothing to Disney, easy enough to pay it but could get dismissed since it happened at an independent restaurant in Downtown Disney. I would hope the terms and conditions don’t hold up if it was on their property or in one of their owned restaurants.
