If you still have questions, we have friendly on-campus volunteers at our Ask Me Anything and Welcome booths at U of T St. George and U of T Mississauga. At U of T Scarborough, look for instructors, staff and librarians with AskMe stickers, buttons and posters. We’re happy to help you navigate your introduction to campus life, and we've even compiled a list of 6 things every U of T student should know.
