The community atmosphere of our campus makes it easy to foster friendships and get involved in extracurricular activities. Our students can choose to participate in a wide variety of activities ranging from performing in our annual cultural mosaic show, to running for a student government position, to hosting their own show on the campus radio station. With over 100 student clubs and associations, it won’t be hard to indulge your interests.

Location
U of T Scarborough is located 33 km east of the downtown center of Toronto, the largest city in Canada with a population of over 2.5 million. Recognized as the 4th largest financial center of Canada, Toronto offers world-class art galleries, museums, dance performances, international film and literary festivals. Situated in the lush and picturesque Highland Creek Valley, the campus is still easily accessible by public transit.  As part of Canada’s largest university, Scarborough students have access to a multitude of student services and resources, while still benefiting from a smaller campus environment.
