One last phone check as students make their way to class on U of T’s St. George campus on Sept. 2, the first day of the fall term

Welcome to U of T Scarborough! Students were greeted with open arms – and even a little dancing – as they moved into their new homes-away-from-homes

Students didn’t let a little rain dampen the fun at the tri-campus cheer-off event on the St. George campus
