Welcome to Life @ U of T! Unlike the set of Backstreet's Back, we do not have werewolves, vampires, mummies and a dance worthy of a flashmob. We do, however, have the awesome Community Crew and lots of great blog…
Something's afoot on lifeatuoft. lifeatuoft will soon be lifeatuoft no longer. Our beloved lifeatuoft blog is getting a makeover. Am I trying to say lifeatuoft as many times as I can before I can't call the blog lifeatuoft anymore? Yes.…

Congratulations! You made it! It's been 3 years, almost to the day, since I accepted my offer to U of T. Wow, that makes me feel old. I still remember my dad picking me up from school and handing me…
This year, I really wanted to try one of them new-fangled exercise routines. I've been saying for years and years and year that I should get myself out of my chair and just do it (no copyright infringement intended), and…
Sometimes being a student while being employed by the university can put you in a weird position. You can have all these frustrations with your institution, but then you get a job with them, and suddenly you need to look…
