By Nicole Rankine (University of Toronto, Canada) Hi everyone! So, whilst my semester in Toronto has sadly come to an end, the adventure has continued. Since leaving Canada I have found work in San Francisco for a marketing internship. This has so far been an incredible and valuable experience, though admittedly a little daunting at times.

TOP 5 THINGS TO DO WHILE IN TORONTO… ASIDE FROM STUDYING.
By Nicole Rankine (University of Toronto, Canada) So, yes, my time in Toronto is sadly over, but as my next post will focus on, my journey is not yet over as I am about to begin an internship here in San Francisco.

Travels in Canada: Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City
By Nicole Rankine (University of Toronto, Canada) Studying here at the University of Toronto has not only enabled me to experience a different style of education, but it has also allowed me the chance to explore many other cities, which I previously would have never considered ever visiting.

It was during reading week that I and a friend (who is on exchange from Japan) decided that we wanted to make the most of our lecture-free schedule to go and discover more of Canada, and…

However, since my last blog I have had a busy, busy month, and plan to make up for that lost time by detailing everything about Torontonian life, as well as my travels outside of the city.

Now, the first thing to mention about University of Toronto exams is that revision almost…

University of Toronto: My first few weeks!
By Nicole Rankine (University of Toronto, Canada) Hello everyone! I’ve now been in Toronto for about three weeks and so far I am loving every minute of being here… well almost. One of my favourite things about studying here in Toronto is my new halls of residence, Annesley Hall. The building resembles something of a palace, and my room is not only massive but also contains a view of the CN Tower and the Royal Ontario Museum, in addition to ghosts, as the building is apparently haunted. On top of this, the residence is located just off of Bloor Street aka the ‘Oxford Street of Toronto’. Although, I must admit that this has not been good…
