University of Toronto Ultimate Survival Guide Part Two

Spread the love

After graduating from university, I wished I was more involved in my community and made more connections. To help other students jump start their university experience, I created the University of Toronto survival guide. I researched various student websites and forums to find all the resources you need. As a first-generation student, I remember how hard it was for me to transition from high school to the university. My only hope is for this guide to help you feel less overwhelmed and to encourage you to check out these amazing services.

Bold terms are hyperlinks in the guide. Download the PDF below to access all the links.

Don’t forget to check out my first survival guide for uToronto. There is information for free food on campus, study tips, part-time jobs at U of T, cheap textbooks and more.
