THE COLLEGES<br />

St. George Campus<br />

College System<br />

The college system dates back to <strong>the</strong> earliest days <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> Toronto and remains one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> university’s<br />

most distinctive features today. Each <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> seven colleges<br />

on <strong>the</strong> St. George campus is a unique community <strong>of</strong><br />

scholars and students within <strong>the</strong> <strong>Faculty</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Arts</strong> & <strong>Science</strong>.<br />

Every <strong>Arts</strong> & <strong>Science</strong> student is a member <strong>of</strong> a college.<br />

Whe<strong>the</strong>r you live in residence or commute to campus,<br />

your college is like a familiar neighbourhood, bringing you<br />

toge<strong>the</strong>r with people you may know for a lifetime.<br />

Each college has its own culture and provides core<br />

services for <strong>the</strong>ir students. Many students discover that<br />

<strong>the</strong>ir college is one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> most important factors in <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

university experience.<br />

It is important to remember that whichever college<br />

you choose, you will have access to all courses and<br />

programs <strong>of</strong>fered in <strong>the</strong> <strong>Faculty</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Arts</strong> & <strong>Science</strong>.<br />

College affiliation does not restrict academic choices.<br />
