The college system dates back to the earliest days of the University of Toronto and remains one of the university's most distinctive features. Each of the seven colleges on the St. George campus is a unique community of scholars and students within the Faculty of Arts & Science.
Every Arts & Science student is a member of a college. Whether you live in residence or commute to campus, your college is like a familiar neighbourhood, bringing you together with people you may know for a lifetime.
Each college has its own culture and all provide core student services, including academic and financial counselling, accommodation, orientation, scholarships and bursaries and social gatherings. Many students find that their college is one of the most important factors in their university experience.
The colleges house a number of academic programs. No matter what college you belong to, you will have access to all courses and programs offered in the Faculty of Arts & Science. You don't have to be a member of a particular college to access college-sponsored programs. College affiliation does not restrict academic choice; you don't have to be a member of a particular college to access college-sponsored programs.
