University Housing Service
The University Housing Service on the St. George campus maintains up-to-date information on downtown off-campus residence-style housing such as the Centre for Christian Studies, Ewart, Neill-Wycik, and Tartu Colleges, and the Toronto General Hospital Nurses Residence. It also lists contact offices for the 27 houses of Campus Cooperative Residence Incorporated, and for 14 fraternities. All of those residences and houses are operated independently of the University of Toronto but give priority to post-secondary students.
To gain access to the St. George campus registry, evidence of current or prospective affiliation with the University of Toronto (student I.D. card or offer of admission) is required.
