Two days ago, I found myself hiding in a washroom on campus, nervous and shaky. I reviewed my notes on my tablet, mouthing what I was going to say wordlessly, frantically. I was counting down time. 8 minutes. Oh look!…
freaks and geeks – the first year of a life science student
Hey, I'm Abdullah! Starting today, I'll be blogging for Life @ U of T. I'm a Cell and Molecular Bio student minoring in Psychology and American Studies. I'm also from UC. I like long walks down University Ave. to Union…
Tell me U of T, what excites your spirit?
I’m Sarah AKA @Sarah_UofT and I am the Team Captain of your Student Life Community Crew! Get ready to embark upon a beautiful adventure with me, full of some serious soul-searching. I’m majoring in Political Science and Ethics,…
It is time… Registration Time
It's July. You know what that means? It's Registration Time. Registration Time is arguably the most stressful time of the year for U of T students, after Exam Week(s). We spend weeks or days (or hours, for the adrenaline junkies)…
Right this way!
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.…
Day Trip: The Annex
One of the best things about having family come from out of town is that you have an extra excuse to go out. My mom and brother are in Toronto for the week. When my mom went off for day trip,…
When The Bells Toll
I knocked the door at the top of the staircase tentatively. The 75+ steps leading up to the Soldiers' Tower Carillon left me breathless, and after travelling up those narrow steps (stay away if you are acrophobic and claustrophobic), I wasn't sure what to expect.
"Come in!" A deep booming voice reverberated through the door. For a moment, I imagined that I was about to step into something out of The Hunchback of Notre Dame. I imagined seeing the giant bells looming above my head, and having to step haphazardly between cables and wires that keep the clock running.

For a moment, we had Venus in our backyard
There's something to be said when a once in a life time opportunity comes around, and you get a chance to experience it first hand - right on campus. (Storify curated by Crystal)
When my dulcet tones grace the airwaves…
(...As if its 1950 all over again... Ahem. Anyway.) Do any lifeatuoft readers listen to CIUTFM? Did to listen to Beyond The Classroom this week? On Monday, from 11-12? Did you hear me? 😀 Yes? Yes? No? Oh 🙁 Earlier…
