Life @ UofT is a blog run
by a group of bloggers from the Student Life Community Crew at University of
Toronto St. George campus. With its goal of promoting healthy and engaging life
style at University of Toronto, the blog highlights various aspects of student
life in University of Toronto. From study tips to career advising, from social
event experiences to growing-up moments, those relatable topics can connect
students with the larger university community and encourage them to engage in
activities outside classroom like the bloggers are trying to.

This blog has been running
since October, 2008, with organized schedules and disciplines behind the scene.
Every blogger writes one blog per week, and one blogger only writes about
certain topics. Without further knowledge about the system behind, it has been
effectively maintaining the quality and quantity of the blog for eight years,
which makes it a credible resource.
