The U of T campuses offer many cool experiences worthy of a bucket list: the things we recommend everyone should try at least once while a University of Toronto student.

How many did you check off during your time at university? Share your score with us on Twitter, Facebook or LinkedIn!

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. View the cosmos through one of U of T's telescopes... you can even take an AstroTour at McLennan Physical Laboratories.

3. Enjoy a concert by the U of T Gospel Choir. The award-winning group formed in 1995 for a one-off concert, but proved so popular they are still going strong.

4. Study in one of the suspended pods at the Leslie L. Dan Faculty of Pharmacy building.

5. Stock up on veggies, jams, honey and more at the U of T Scarborough farmers' market.

6. Paint your face and cheer on the Blues at a football game at Varsity Stadium.

7. Attend a Remembrance Day ceremony at the Soldiers’ Tower. It never fails to move. We promise.

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

9. Spot a deer...or several... on the U of T Mississauga campus.

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

11. Search for the elusive secret tunnel that runs beneath the U of T Mississauga campus.

12. Study in every U of T library at least once. As of 2018, there are 44 of them, and many are stunning!

13. Stop by Diabolos' Coffee Bar at University College for a nutella latte and a sweet snack. 

14. 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.

15.  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.
