Life in Toronto

Toronto is one of the most culturally diverse cities in the world and this is reflected in a wonderful mosaic of distinctive neighbourhoods. Michener is located in the heart of a student-focused community, along with five other universities and colleges.

Nightlife

Toronto has a rich nightlife, and being in the heart of downtown puts you in reach of an impressive list of nighttime diversions. When it comes time for a study break, you'll have dozens of eclectic nightspots to discover. You'll find everything from massive, 3-storey nightclubs to smaller, more intimate martini bars, coffeehouses and restaurants.

A Shopper's Paradise

Michener is within walking distance of several shopping areas; each with their own distinct style. You can go window-shopping along trendy Queen Street West or indulge in the antique shops, movie star spotting and high-end designer boutiques in Yorkville. And of course you are just minutes away from Canada's premier shopping destination; the Eaton Centre. Whatever your style, you can shop until you drop.

The Arts

Students who are interested in the arts will find a diverse art scene that includes a range of galleries and exhibition spaces. Michener is just steps from the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Royal Ontario Museum, Canada's largest.

Toronto is also the third largest live theatre centre in the world (after London and New York). You'll find everything from Broadway-style mega-musicals to fringe theatre festivals. In addition, lovers of symphony, ballet, opera, and live music will enjoy countless opportunities to explore their passions.
