Torontoarrow_outward
Toronto is the financial capital of Canada, meaning many organizations have their headquarters located in the city. By joining the Rotman School of Management, you’re opening yourself to a world of networking and career opportunities with top employers.
Many people are surprised on their first visit to see how much green space the city has, earning its nickname ‘The City within a park’. We also have public beaches, islands, rivers, ravines, and other great spaces to get out and explore nature while never straying too far from a streetcar or subway stop, including Riverdale Farm: a working farm located right downtown and open to the public.
Before signing a lease (or mortgage), make sure you’ve found the right location! Learn about Toronto’s diverse neighbourhoods, including the Annex, where the Rotman School is located, on Wikipedia. If you’re moving outside the Annex, check a TTC transit map to make sure you can get to class on time via local transportation.
The Greater Toronto Area is home to 25 urban, suburban, and rural municipalities, meaning if you prefer a quieter lifestyle it’s still within reach of our downtown Toronto campus. The Rotman School offers underground parking all year round. Visit the University of Toronto Transportation services site for a map of all campus parking and information on rates.Many students also commute via biking, the TTC, Go Transit, or even Via Rail.
