Experience in Toronto, Canada by Moaz

What is it like to live in Toronto? Would you recommend it? What is the city like?

It's a pretty lovely city, pretty much like any metropolitan. It's got an amazing transit system. The only thing you got to watch out for is the winters, they're pretty terrible for those who are from warmer climates, although the city does a pretty good job keeping up with it. I would definitely recommend this city if you are coming down here to study, work or live. It's quite multicultural and you will soon find yourself among friends from all over the world.

What is the student lifestyle like in Toronto?

It depends on which school you go to. If you are attending one of the city schools, the lifestyle will be more blended with the working class and student crowd, whereas if you attend university at one of the smaller towns, you will have a much different experience.

How much does it cost to live in Toronto?

Well you can survive on about $800 a month, although to live comfortably and eat out every once in a while you would need to budget at least $1000/month.

Is it difficult to find accommodation in Toronto? Is there any advice you can give?

Not difficult at all, just look it up online!

Kijiji and Craigslist are the most popular ones.

What is the food like? What are your favourite dishes?

The food is pretty awesome, you'll find everything here from all corners of the world. I'm kinda hungry right now so I'm not going to try to remember all my favourite dishes! Apologize, but I'm sure you will find something for your liking!

What places would you recommend visiting in Toronto?

Go to Harbourfront, the 1000 islands, many more, can't think right now... oh yeah, there's a lot of parks and the zoo of course.

Yes eating out is great! Depends what you want to eat. I would just go to Dundas square and there's a ton of eating spots from there on walking distance.

Of course, that's what Toronto is good for. Just go to Adelaide Street Court House, Richmond station, or ask anyone where the entertainment district is in downtown Toronto.
