Make sure that the college you choose offers the services and community you want. It is important to remember that students at any college may study any program offered by the Faculty. In the long run, each student will decide how important their college is to their life at the university. Some students, especially those in residence, immerse themselves in college life. Other students find themselves more at home in their department, or at Hart House or at any one of a number of centres of student activity.
Examples are the major in criminology or the specialist in commerce and finance.
Students in the Faculty of Arts and Science pay an academic fee for each course they take. The fee is the same across all the colleges. Full time students normally take five courses each year. Part time students take less than four. In addition, students pay incidental fees which vary from college to college.
