THE University of Toronto in Canada offers its students not only an outstanding education but also an extensive support system to help them through all aspects of their tertiary years.
With 77,000 students and an 11,000-strong faculty and staff, the University of Toronto is one of the world's largest tertiary institutions.
The university is made up of three campuses - the downtown St George campus; the Erindale campus, 33 kilometres to the west; and the Scarborough campus, 33 km to the east.
The students come from more than 100 countries; 46 per cent of the 2,000 overseas students are from Hong Kong.
'We are immensely proud of our international students, and do all we can to make sure they feel at home on the campus,' said the university's president, Robert Prichard.
The International Student Centre is the focus of the university's activities and services for students from abroad.
It is a venue for Canadian and overseas students to get together in an informal way, and join hands in programmes in a multi-cultural setting.
