#UofTBackToSchool: 14 things every student should do before they graduate

We know you’ve just arrived here, but consider this your bucket list: the things you should try at least once while you’re a University of Toronto student. Better yet, explore all three campuses and create your own set of “must-dos.” Let this be the inspiration to get you started.

1. Stroll down Philosopher’s Walk. Arrive at the meaning of life. Failing that, arrive at a decision over what to have for lunch.

2. Take an AstroTour and view a planetary body through the telescopes at McLennan Physical Laboratories.

3. Go to a concert by the U of T Gospel Choir. (Bonus: This year, U of T's Faculty of Music has made all of its concerts and events free, space permitting, for students with a valid TCard.)

8. Eat a veggie dog from Nasir’s hotdog stand at U of T Scarborough. (Drake does!) Nasir’s weekly riddles are awesome.

9. Take a “walk with your prof” on a guided tour of the U of T Mississauga campus. You might spot a deer. You might also get to know a prof. Watch for the signs.

 10. Swim in the Hart House pool. With the skylights and arches, it almost feels as if you’re swimming outside … in Rome.

11. Study in every U of T library at least once. There are 44 of them, and many are stunning!

12. Visit the Junior Common Room at University College and stop by Diabolos' Coffee Bar for a nutella latte and a sweet snack.

13. Listen to a carillon concert in Hart House Circle. There are 51 bells making up the carillon, and they range in weight from 23 pounds to four tons.

14.  Write an article for one of U of T's many campus newspapers or magazines, such as The Varsity or The Medium at U of T Mississauga.
