How is life for a college student at university of Toronto?

I am living currently in South Carolina and plan on attending the University of Toronto in Canada.



What should I expect. Just give me all your suggestions.How is life for a college student at university of Toronto?
Here are some tips:



1) Make sure you live on rez (dorms as you guys call them) for at least your first year at UofT. After first year, you can rent a nearby apartment if you want...it's cheaper. But you need to experience rez life during first year.



2) Join as many clubs as your timetable allows. UofT has 70 000 students, so if you wanna make friends, this is how you do it.



I can't remember the exact percentage...but UofT has a pretty high percentage of international students. So you won't be alone.



Also, like someone else mentioned, it does get cold in the winter. Just buy a huge coat + boots and you'll be fine.
the college life in canada is nothing like it is in the US. like the other guy mentioned, frats and sports are definately not as big.

but u of t is a good school, large nice campus right in the provinces capital, lots of good bars/clubs in the area, and youll probably be on res so either way youll make a lota good friendsHow is life for a college student at university of Toronto?
Don't expect massive culture shock -- weather shock perhaps during the winter but not culture shock. The big differences you will notice are that frats and athletics are far less important and the military presence non-existent. Much less casual flag-waving and more ethnic and social diversity.
