Who needs Allan Gardens anyway? Melinda shows us U of T's own tropical paradise in this fourth installment of our Hidden Gems series. The rooftop greenhouses at the Earth Sciences Centre are open to the public 9-5 Monday through Friday.
Hart House
Fitness rooms
Not every class at U of T is listed in the course calendar. In the third installment of our Hidden Gems series, Artimes shows us one of Hart House's fitness rooms. All three gyms on the St. George campus have a variety of registered and free drop-in fitness classes waiting for you this fall!
Robarts Library
8th floor
Think Robarts is just a giant stone turkey housing an endless maze of stacks and all-nighters? Think again. In the second instalment of our Hidden Gems series, Orientation Exec Gabe shows us a quiet study nook waiting for you on the 8th floor: the Richard Charles Lee Canada-Hong Kong Library.
Knox College
Walkway
Take a look at the first installment of our Hidden Gems series as Zahavah takes us to her favourite spot on campus: Knox College Quad. This little nook of U of T is filled with vibrant greens and gorgeous archways, complete with tables to relax with a book!
