Fanshawe Pubs
Forwell Hall/OBS: Be sure to check out the Fanshawe pubs. They help support various charities, events, and divisions, plus it's a great place to party and meet a ton of people. You might want to bring the condom from your orientation pack, just in case.
Bus Pass
All you need to know are two numbers, 4 and 20, ironically “4:20,” it's that easy. The 4 (Oxford East) takes you down Oxford St., then straight up Richmond Row (aka downtown). The 20 (Cherry Hill) takes you the more interesting way, umm, down Dundas. This bus is great if you're going to the south end of Richmond, going to the JLC to watch the Knights, or just enjoy people watching.
