University of Toronto Student Life | Advice and FAQ for U of T Students
I graduated from university and wished I knew ahead of time the resources available at my school. Learning from my experience, I created a list of resources to help you make the most of your student life at the University of Toronto.
Many alumni will tell you to try new things and get involved with the community. My only advice is to keep challenging yourself, learn from your mistakes and keep going.
