Selecting Your College
When you apply to the Faculty of Arts & Science, you will be asked on your Ontario University Application Centre (OUAC) application to select your college membership preferences. They are all good choices. In ordering your choices you may wish to consider: location, residence type and space, size of membership, architecture, religious affiliation, family tradition, choices made by your friends or any other factors that appeal to you.
You will find out which college membership you have been assigned to when you receive your offer of admission in early spring. Though you are not guaranteed your first college preference, you will feel at home in whichever college community you are a member of.
The colleges house a number of academic programs. No matter which 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.
