Campuses
St. George Campus:
At the historic St. George (downtown) campus, undergraduate students belong either to one of seven colleges (for Faculty of Arts & Science students) or smaller faculties such as Applied Science and Engineering, Music and Physical Education and Health. Each of these learning communities has its own personality and will be your home within U of T. Here, you'll be part of a close-knit group of students, faculty, staff and alumni – your home base and support system.

Whether you live in residence or commute to campus, your college is like a familiar neighbourhood, bringing you together with people you may end up knowing for a lifetime. It is important to remember that whichever college you choose, you will have access to all courses and programs offered in the Faculty of Arts and Science. All colleges have a similar mix of arts, science and commerce students. Although the colleges differ from one another, they all provide similar services and activities, including:
Academic, financial and personal counseling, orientation and transition events, writing workshops, math support services, libraries (at most colleges), computer facilities, residence accommodation, student government, social gatherings, peer counseling, student-run newspapers, competitive and recreational sports, scholarships and bursaries, community and university volunteer opportunities.
CHOOSING A COLLEGE
College choice is highly subjective - it’s a matter of finding the right fit for you. Each college
has its own character. Different qualities such as location, architecture, residences, size, traditions, family or religious affiliation will appeal to different students. Residences vary from one college to the next. Some are traditional dormitory-style and include meals, while others are apartment-style with no meal plan.
When you apply to the Faculty of Arts and Science on the OUAC application you must rank all seven colleges in order of preference.
To assist you there will be links on the OUAC website to information about each of the colleges, including their own websites for prospective students. Look up these sites, or better yet, take a campus tour and see the colleges you are interested in.
