**Ethnicity, Culture and Faith:**

Being a very multicultural school
in a very multicultural city, University of Toronto students have established
and offer a variety of ethnic clubs as well. These range from cultural clubs like
the Italian club, Greek club, Armenian club etc, to language clubs like
the Spanish and Japanese clubs. If you want to join a club of your own
ethnicity, or if you wish to experience and get to know a culture that is
foreign to you, it is likely that UofT will offer a club you will find suits
these needs. These clubs are important to make any local or international
students feel at home.

UofT also provides clubs for many
religious denominations. There is a club for people of the Islam faith and many
Christian clubs as well including the Orthodox Christian Fellowship. These
types of clubs are all built to help any student feel more comfortable to make
UofT like a second home. It also provides students with opportunities to
explore and learn about other cultures and religions.
