Personally, for me, UofT has rightly always been a home away from home. The reason behind this is the plethora of opportunities it has to offer in terms of student involvement. Any club you can think of is already there all ready for you to join them! Along with clubs, there are other organizations and part-time work positions one could apply for. All of this excludes the Research Opportunity Program and Work-Study positions that are more academia-focused. Want to instead attend an event or celebrate a festival? There are endless events happening on campus throughout the year!

Besides this, there are many groups that can help and support you in your journey – be it needing help acquiring a job, being educated on the study tips and tricks by students and professionals, or even physical fitness-related workshops. You name it and it’s much likely almost always a resource for it. It’s not just the countless realm of resources at your disposal, in fact, it is the ease with which any of the resources could be accessed! Simply call or visit the student centers for just about anything – they would unhesitantly help you or guide you to the right person of contact. Not much of a social person? Tools including Clnx and Navi Resource Finder are one of the many online helpers.

UofT is a very warming and inclusive place. The campus is is inviting and has a diverse student body. There are many opportunities to build a group of like-minded individuals through many clubs and extracurricular activities.

I attend the Scarborough Camous, which is lovely campus surrounded by a forest with a lot of plants. The campus is not large and it is easy to go to one class to another. The con is that there is not a lot of programs in this campus.
