University of Toronto

Yesterday was very good day for me, because me and my classmate and my teacher went to University of Toronto. I saw many new and old buildings. Every time when I was in my home country I ask me, where is the University of Toronto? Why it is very famous in the world, yesterday I find answer my question. It was very fantastic. I can say it is goal for most students that educate in this university. We had a tour leader. She explained very well for us about this university and that history. There were several collages in that area. And there are 42 libraries in Great Toronto. Maybe several other years after I can improve my English, I would like register in this university in my attendant field. It is geotechnical field. Very good filed for me. In my opinion these trips are very useful for students. Because they learn about Canada and that cultural. So it is fun for students after a busy week. The first days I was bored. Because I thought the Toronto is smaller than Tehran. Now I see many things
And feel them about Canada. A few days ago I was sawing my dreams about my home country. Now I am seeing dreams about Canada. Now I feel I am in Canada
I searched in Google about this university and I get some information about this university. The University of Toronto was founded as King’s College in 1827 and has evolved into a large and complex institution. It now occupies three campuses: Scarborough and Erin dale and the historic St. George campus. It has federated with three smaller universities which are on the St. George campus, and is affiliated with several colleges and institutes. There are ten fully affiliated teaching hospitals in metropolitan Toronto. Faculty conducts research in many places in Canada and around the world.
The University is Canada’s most important research institution and has gained an international reputation for its research. It enrols more students, employs more faculty, and offers a greater range of courses than any other Canadian university.
A liberal arts education is the heart of the undergraduate curriculum at Toronto, and the Faculty of Arts and Science has more students than any other faculty. The education of students for the professions has always been an important part of the University’s role, and the University accordingly maintains a wide range of professional faculties. The University’s insistence on the importance of research in all disciplines has made it the major centre for graduate education in Canada. In many fields it produces a majority of the nation’s doctoral candidates. The quality and range of the programs - undergraduate, graduate and professional - attract students from all parts of the province, from around the country and from abroad.
To support its work of teaching and research, the University has collected a library that is the largest in Canada and among the best in the world. The University maintains many laboratories and specialized aids to research. The Library and many of these research facilities are available for use by members of other universities. The University of Toronto Press Inc. is the chief institution of its kind in Canada and one of the most important scholarly publishers in North America.
