Application Information

 

Choosing which university to attend is a big decision. Your university will be your home and community for the next few years of your life. It can be a life-changing experience and it is expensive. A decision of such magnitude is one that you will want to spend some time thinking about.

 

You are probably going to be inundated with the advice and opinions of virtually everyone around you. Such a wealth of information is a good thing: the more information you have about your options, the better. Take advantage of the recruitment events and opportunities that universities offer. Listen to your teachers, your friends, your parents. Be active in your approach.

 

 

A bit about the University of Toronto

The University of Toronto is large: it comprises over 70,000 students, thousands of faculty and staff, three campuses, and 35 city blocks in the downtown area alone. Its large size means that it has a tremendous amount to offer, and there is a pluralism to its community that is incomparable in Canada.

 

The University of Toronto is home to dozens of libraries, including Robarts Library, making its system among the best research facilities in North America.

 

The University's student services, organizations, activities, and clubs are too numerous to name here. Although the University of Toronto is large, its staff and faculty aim to help. Do not hesitate to reach out and ask for assistance if you are having difficulty tracking down information. Your college registrar's office is a reliable first stop.

 

The University of Toronto organizes a number of recruitment and information events throughout the admissions cycle. If you are interested in coming to the University, take advantage of as many of these events as you can.
