Acknowledgment of Traditional LandWe wish to acknowledge the land on which the University of Toronto operates.

For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca, and, most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still

home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.

It’s like throwing yourself into the deep end, and while there is a period where you feel lost, you end up feeling like you have a second home at the end of it. It was the greatest experience of my university career.” – U of T Finance and Economics student and participant in the 2017 Waseda University Exchange Program.

Celebrations The city knows how to throw a party. Annual traditions include: the Toronto International Film Festival, which brings hundreds of movies and parties to the city every September; Nuit Blanche, an all-night outdoor art exploration; Caribbean Carnival, one of the largest festivals of Caribbean music, dance and artisanship; North by Northeast (NXNE) Music Festival, a showcase of 1,000+ indie bands, and much more, over three nights; Toronto Jazz Festival, which infuses Nathan Phillips Square with cool jazz on warm nights; and one of the largest Pride Week celebrations in North America.

Transit Each campus is well connected and accessible to the GTA by public transit. Toronto’s transit system (TTC) is fast, clean and reliable. Subways, buses, streetcars and light rail provide frequent and comprehensive access across the region. U of T also offers direct shuttle bus service between U of T Mississauga and U of T St. George. U of T Mississauga students receive a MiWay (Mississauga Transit) travel pass valid for unlimited travel while enrolled in courses. If you prefer self-propelled transportation, you’ll love this city of cyclists, with its bike lanes and ubiquitous ring-on-a-stick ‘parking’ spots.

Mississauga Just west of Toronto, Mississauga is Canada’s sixth largest city. It mixes urban, suburban and natural living. Marvel at the engineering wonder of the Absolute Towers, 50- and 56-storey towers that torque 180 degrees. Stroll along the 13 km waterfront of Lake Ontario. Catch a pro athletic game at the Hershey Centre. Grab a performance or exhibition at the Living Arts Centre. Shop at Square One, Canada’s second largest mall.

Annex The St. George campus is nestled beside the Annex, a century-old neighbourhood known as much for its intellectual and cultural offerings as for its maple-lined, one-way streets and grand Victorian homes. It is also within walking distance of numerous international communities and Queen Street.

International Villages All situated close to the St. George campus, you can buy fresh ginger at the Chinatown street market, listen to Fado in Little Portugal, or watch the World Cup at an espresso café in Little Italy. India, Korea and all other curves of the globe are represented, creating Toronto’s mosaic that includes numerous communities united by a distinct culture, yet an integral part of the city’s overall personality.

Queen Street Toronto’s cool factor is evident along Queen Street West and area. A short distance from the St. George campus, vintage clothing shops and vendors selling handmade jewelry coexist with stores offering the freshest styles from local indie designers. The wide sidewalks are bustling with patios in warm weather and a variety of live music can be found each night of the week ranging from rock to jazz.

Scarborough Located in the eastern part of Toronto, Scarborough showcases some of the city’s most popular and intriguing landmarks. The Scarborough Bluffs are 15 km of earthen cliff shoreline along Lake Ontario. Rouge Park is Canada’s first urban national park and the largest urban park in North America. The Toronto Zoo is the world’s third largest zoo, renowned for its education and conservation activities. Accessible by public transit, the area is Toronto’s greenest, and is also one of the most diverse and multicultural neighbourhoods in the city; U.S. economist Tyler Cowen calls it the “best ethnic food suburb".

Live HereGreater Toronto Area

The City of Toronto’s official

motto is “Diversity Our Strength,”

which speaks both to the essence

of the Greater Toronto Area and

to its residents.

The Greater Toronto Area is the best of all worlds. The city has, at its very core, exceptional diversity: nearly half of Toronto’s 2.7 million residents were born outside Canada. Our city’s living mosaic continues to draw the best and the brightest, who come here seeking world-class business, culture and education in one of the safest cities in North America.

They find it, too, in the Fortune 500 company headquarters along Bay Street and various districts of Mississauga; in the research centres throughout the city; in the museums and galleries, literary, music and film festivals that take place throughout the year; and in the numerous educational institutions, of which U of T is a leader.

“ The most culturally

mixed city on the

continent truly is

one of Earth’s closest

approximations

of urban paradise.” – Will Wilkinson, political essayist

10,000There are 10,000 theatrical performances in Toronto’s 90 theatres annually, making the city the third largest English language theatre destination in the world, after New York and London.

1,200There are 1,200 stores and restaurants in the PATH, North America’s largest continuous underground network. With 30 km of walkway, PATH also connects 50 office towers, five subway stations, six major hotels and Union Station.

20,371There are 20,371 intersections among the City of Toronto’s 10,033 streets.

T.O.Toronto has almost as many nicknames as it does neighbourhoods, and each carries the story of an era: today’s nicknames are "The 6ix", “T.O.” (tee-oh) and “T-dot”.

Build Your Own Degree: Specialists, Majors and MinorsWhen building an Arts, Science, or Business degree, you'll have the opportunity to choose from Specialist, Major, and Minor program options. A Major consists of a concentration of courses in a specific subject area and usually makes up a third of a student’s total courses (6 - 9 credits). Specialists are advanced concentrations, where more than half of the courses will be in one academic area (9 - 16 credits). Minors allow students to explore their general interest in a subject area (4 - 5 credits). Overall, in an undergraduate degree, students will take a minimum of 20 credits in a variety of subjects. Programs allow students to concentrate on one or more academic areas while also taking elective courses.

Research Opportunities Program Ready to start making your mark? Beginning in second year, the Research Opportunity Program (ROP) gives you the opportunity to conduct research outside of the classroom, working on meaningful projects with some of the University’s most renowned professors – for course credit!

U of T’s Three Campuses

The University of Toronto is committed to providing learning opportunities that match the diverse needs of students. Students at each of our three campuses benefit from distinctive learning environments, experiences and co-curricular opportunities, while earning the same prestigious U of T degree.

The historic U of T St. George campus is the most urban in the U of T triad. The juxtaposition of Gothic architecture and sleek ultra-modernism is a metaphor for the range of offerings within its bounds. Since 1827, a tradition of academic excellence and achievement has driven the University’s aspiration to continue graduating leaders who can and will make significant contributions to the world. U of T St. George’s location in the heart of downtown Toronto provides a rich cultural context for a myriad of learning options. Five direct-entry undergraduate faculties: Arts & Science (including seven colleges); Engineering; Music; Kinesiology & Physical Education; and Architecture, Landscape, and Design as well as the professional faculties call U of T St. George their home. Students across each discipline have a role to play inside and outside the classroom.

U of T Mississauga is a student-centred research community highly respected for its academic programs and research contributions. Located in a park-like expanse in Canada’s sixth largest city, U of T Mississauga is approximately 27 km from Toronto city centre and directly accessible by U of T shuttle bus and public transit. U of T Mississauga’s unique educational programs include: Canada’s premier Forensic Science degree program; a Department of Language Studies that delivers courses in a wide variety of languages; two business degree options (BCom, BBA); and joint programs with Sheridan College in Art and Art History; Theatre and Drama; and Communication, Culture, Information and Technology. It is also home to one of the academies of U of T’s Faculty of Medicine and the Institute for Management and Innovation. The University has strong ties with the City of Mississauga as well as its residents, which leads to learning experiences throughout the city that include opportunities in government, business and the arts.

U of T Scarborough students get a head start on their futures through U of T's only arts, science, and business co-operative learning programs as well as internships, community engagement, leadership development and hands-on research with professors who are uncovering the keys to a healthy planet, a healthy population and a flourishing global society. Within U of T Scarborough's close-knit community, students can create one-of-a-kind learning experiences. You'll find programs in management, arts and sciences, along with specialized programs such as Mental Health Studies and International Development Studies, as well as unique joint degrees, combined bachelor/master's degrees and double degrees. U of T Scarborough's dynamic and growing campus is surrounded by parklands and is at the heart of a multicultural neighbourhood. It is a showcase for new buildings by award-winning architects including the Toronto Pan Am Sports Centre (2014), the Environmental Science & Chemistry Building (2015) and Highland Hall (2018).

HOUSING GUARANTEEResidence is guaranteed for all new full-time students entering their first year of a post-secondary program for the first time, provided that they have indicated their interest in residence by completing the university's common residence application (MyRes) by March 31, and have received and accepted an offer of admission by June 3.

When you join the University of Toronto, you become part of a community. Your home away from home might be at one of our seven colleges (Innis, New, St. Michael’s, Trinity, University, Victoria, Woodsworth) or at Chestnut Residence in the downtown core.

Living on campus means having a live-in support network: your friendly neighbourhood Dons and Resident Assistants will always be right down the hall from you, and our classrooms, athletic centres, labs, and libraries will never be more than a quick dash away. Never again will you have an excuse to skip a workout —or a group study session.

Each of our residences has its own intramural teams, student councils, and social committees, not to mention delicious, cosmopolitan meal plans prepared by our in-house chefs. Each residence also offers a variety of room styles: dormitory-style residences feature single and double rooms with common dining areas, while apartment-style residences consist of single rooms that open to a shared kitchen, washrooms, and living area. Our heritage residences feature both single and double rooms. Whether you’re looking for a quiet reading nook, the chatty atmosphere of an Old World café, or an airy alcove for a late-night heart-to-heart, you’ll find it here.

For specifics on each residence’s living and dining options, check out uoft.me/residence-descriptions, or flip to the handy bulletin tucked in the back of this book.

If you’re thinking about living off campus, U of T’s Housing Services office can help you navigate the rental market and find a place that suits you. Our Off-Campus Housing service features a directory of listings, a roommate-finder service, a buy-and-sell board, and all sorts of practical wisdom on how to clinch a great apartment and make it your own. Learn more at offcampushousing.utoronto.ca.

No matter where you live, you’ll love being just steps away from all of the nightlife, sports, fashion, and fun that make Toronto one of the world’s most liveable cities.
