• We have 3 campuses –
  • UofT St George
  • UofT Scarborough
  • UofT Mississauga
• We have plenty of fancy libraries, Hart House as the biggest recreational centre, a humongous ice-skating rink and a football ground.
• The indoor courts are huge as well.
• Science rendezvous is a popular festival. The Indian communities celebrate Holi, Diwali and Garba as well.

• Via facebook marketplace, Kijiji, UofT off campus housing facebook page
• My current monthly rent is still the covid rent, which is ~750 CAD. This includes heating, water, internet, a washer and dryer, and furniture.
• Since I live in downtown, the number of students looking for rentals is quite a lot. Therefore, it can get pretty competitive
• I would say, off campus housing options are much cheaper and viable options for you
• My current place is a 7-minute walk from campus

• One campus for MBA, Downtown. All kinds of facilities are available in the university area: multiple libraries, sports facilities (Arena), gyms, and medical support is also available.
• RFA, RAMA (Finance Clubs), MCA (consulting), women's exclusive (WIMA), and more clubs for negotiations, entrepreneurship, etc. Many case competitions, Grad Fest (Winter and Summer)

• The university housing option is available; I went for private apartments. You need to hire a realtor (free of charge for tenants) to view the apartments and eventually rent one.
• Monthly accommodation for 1BHK is $2000-$3000. The house owners are choosy about approving your application for renting the apartments.
• Recommendations for future students seeking accommodation: Apply for university housing well in advance. Most students stay within a range of 2–5 km.

• The University of Toronto has three campuses in the greater Toronto Area. Its facilities are fabulous for everything. Transportation food everything is great. UTM dance team, 4NF dance club, intramural sports team aerospace student association hart house club and many more are here. And you can create your club also.

• The online search method is the way I find my accommodations. From searching online, I found many other options as well, which was the only challenge I faced while using this search method. Other than that, everything is okay.

• There are a total of 3 campuses under the University of Toronto.
• The main branch is the St. George campus. The other two are Mississauga and Scarborough.
• The campus comprises all possible facilities, including a gym, swimming, basketball, tennis, football, soccer, and other sports as well.
• There are events going on throughout the year. I don't remember the exact festival name but there is a Rotman Alumnu meet and rotman anniversary that invites all the alumns together under 1 room for a big celebration.
• There are different clubs and organisations that are responsible for conducting educational events as well as case competitions.

• There are various ways to search accommodations:
  • Fb page: there are different pages where people sublet a room or look a long term roommate.
  • Amberstudent/Universityliving etc third oart vendors
  • Graduate housing - offered by the University
  • Local connections, property owners.
  • Property managers - managed flats
  • Realtors - available to show housings as a broker without any extra payment.

• The hardest part was to find something in the desired range, as everything looked a bit costly given you are new to a country and it's hard to find a place before reaching the country if you haven't used any third-party vendors.
• It's great to get third-party vendors if the price suffices.
• It varies from a 15-minute walk to 30 minutes via metro. Indian students preferred places near the metro line or walking distance to the university to avoid unnecessary time wastage during commute.

• The college is filled with fun activities that one could think of.
• Each club makes an effort to create a homely and fun atmosphere for its members.
• If you join certain clubs, you would enjoy extra curricular activities more whereas some other clubs are more case comp focused. So depending on what you prefer you could prioritise time between these two types of clubs.

• I opted for the campus accommodation. This helps with proximity to the college especially in winter when its snowing and is also cheap and well maintained. I would highly recommend this for international students.
• The residence is a 5 min walk from college. The rent is 1406 per month which includes utilities. The only challenge is that it fills up very quickly.
   

The campus life at UTM is better than I thought as it allows different people from different backgrounds to form a community in and outside their dorms. Our campus is one of the largest UofT campuses in Toronto and we have about 7 residences to choose from. Each of the on-campus facilities is different and unique in its way, many allow only two individuals to stay in an entire townhouse with a private kitchen and bathroom, whereas, a few of the other dorms allow four individuals to stay with similar amenities, whereas, there are a few where 2 people share one room (the one I hated to be honest). However, I got lucky and got one of the best dorms on campus where I shared my dorm with only one other person and had full-time access to my private kitchen and washroom. I feel like these types of residences help you connect with people from different programs and different parts of the world and allow you to interact with each other and make new friends as well. One of my first friends in university was my roommate. Apart from this, many dorms are a bit far from the main academic buildings which allows the people to stroll around campus and enjoy its beauty, whereas, many dorms are right next to the academic buildings which makes it easier for the students during harsh weather. Our dorms are well-furnished, cleaned, secured, and protected. Apart from this, I feel most of the campus buildings from our dorms to the academic buildings look amazing and consist of different classes and programs and are spread across a vast piece of land. We have both outdoor and indoor events which may include team sports, seminars, workshops, job fairs club activities, and more. Our campus life is quite nice as it has multiple areas and spaces across buildings and seating areas in buildings where students make time to chit-chat with their friends, mentors, professors, and TAs, or even meet new people and see new faces. We can spend time anywhere across the campus whether it's on the huge field, outside classes, outside the buildings, in the cafeteria, in the library, or even in our friends' dorms.

We have about 6-7 accommodations on campus which are designed in a completely different manner. My dorm known as the "Magrath Valley" allowed only two individuals to stay in an entire townhouse with a private kitchen and bathroom, whereas, a few of the other dorms like "Roy Ivor Hall" allow four individuals to share a 4BHK with their rooms and a shared kitchen with two washrooms, whereas, there is "Erindale Hall" where 2 people share one room. However, I got lucky and got one of the best dorms on campus where I shared my dorm with only one other person and had full-time access to my private kitchen and washroom. I feel like these types of residences help you connect with people from different programs and different parts of the world. The rental cost per month of any accommodation on campus ranges from about $800 - CAD 1200 which I equivalent to about 50,000 - 70,000 Indian Rupees per month. Additionally, we have different meal plans offered ranging from CAD 3,500.

The extracurricular activities are really nice, one can try to join varsity teams and open their own clubs as well.

Not on campus.

I wasn't involved in any clubs. I kept to myself and did my studies.

I was given a meal plan in my living package. I live on campus I don't have a roommate I have a room all to myself, and it makes studying so much better.

A ton of clubs and 40+ libraries around campus. A lot of well-funded clubs and design teams

Toronto is very expensive with housing

Overall it was a nice experience and I like the library so much and have spent time in there. We have also celebrated Halloween on the campus and we have one social club named Crazy Ninjas

I stayed in a residence that cost me approximately 11,00 CAD for the first year. Residence costs include meal plan options. However, there are a lot of campus housing options too.
