Life @ UofT is a blog run by a group of bloggers from the Student Life Community Crew at University of Toronto St. George campus. With its goal of promoting healthy and engaging life style at University of Toronto, the blog highlights various aspects of student life in University of Toronto. From study tips to career advising, from social event experiences to growing-up moments, those relatable topics can connect students with the larger university community and encourage them to engage in activities outside classroom like the bloggers are trying to.

This blog has been running since October, 2008, with organized schedules and disciplines behind the scene. Every blogger writes one blog per week, and one blogger only writes about certain topics. Without further knowledge about the system behind, it has been effectively maintaining the quality and quantity of the blog for eight years, which makes it a credible resource.
