Hi everyone! I hope you all are enjoying this back to school season and getting to return to our beautiful campuses! I'm so excited to be joining the team this year and getting the opportunity to share my final year…
As a full-time commuter student living in Scarborough, getting to campus can sometimes feel like a chore. On cold weather days, there are transit delays and interruptions to consider. On warmer days, the chance of sitting on a bus or…
Commuting used to be the most dreaded part of my day. The crowded subway car, the frequent delays and struggling to balance made me never want to face the TTC again. Rush hour: my ultimate nemesis! But since I can’t escape…
I lived on residence for my first three years at U of T and now that I’m living off-campus I face a real nutritional challenge. I used to pop into my residence repeatedly throughout the day, which gave me the chance to make some food and sit down to eat. Needless to say, these days that’s not exactly feasible.
It’s been a learning curve, but I’ve managed to identify some strategies for success when it comes to feeding myself as a new commuter student. I was doing a terrible job of it initially and learned my lesson the hard way when I fell ill and enjoyed a throbbing headache for three whole days. If you take anything away from this post, try to remember that while it can be challenging, time-consuming and expensive to stay on top of healthy eating sometimes – it’s worth the work. You might save an hour or two by cutting corners or cutting meals but you’ll lose much more than that when you’re feeling unwell later on.

So I’m taking summer classes. I love summer school because I don’t have to juggle 5 courses at the same time. The focus on one subject for two months instead of 5 in four months has always made more sense to me for some reason. This is an unpopular opinion but there are pros and cons to everything! There’s also not that many people on campus during the summer which means I always get the seat with the power outlet.
Not a lot of people want to spend the best weather to grace Toronto in months indoors but I actually end up spend more of it outdoors…waiting for my bus.
What does a commuter love more than on-schedule public transit? Free food. And an entire week of it, no less. See, last week was….. *drumroll please*: Commuter Appreciation Week at U of T! Well, okay, it’s not really an officially…
I've been commuting to school for the last three years. I hail from Mississauga which is far enough to still make for an annoying commute (re: TTCÂ delays) but close enough to not be able to justify paying extra $$$…
Over the last few months, I have been helping to plan a Commuter Appreciation Week. This is the first time all the commuter Heads from all 7 colleges have come together to make a university-wide event. We united to become…
