The highest personal standards of behaviour are intended to mark the private lives of students and the corporate life of the College as a Christian community. Wycliffe seeks to encourage the development of Christian character in each of its students. Residential Life Built in 1891, the College is an historical landmark at the University of Toronto, Canada's pre-eminent university. As students and visitors both past and present will attest, Wycliffe enjoys an unusually rich community life. Besides being a place of residence, the building also contains classrooms, offices, chapel, Sheraton Hall, Refectory, and libraries at its Hoskin Avenue location.
Residential life is an important factor in building a sense of community.
Graduate students enrolled at the College are encouraged to consider living in residence for part or all of their Wycliffe program. While accommodation for married students and families is limited, there is ample room for single women and men. The residence is co-ed, consisting of some 70 rooms. The residence accepts applications from full-time Wycliffe students, as well as graduate students from all disciplines at the University of Toronto. Applications from quiet, mature full-time undergraduates are considered on occasion as well.
