<p>Hey, does anyone happen to know at least a rough estimate of the racial demographics of UTSG? Additionally, what percentage of men and women are involved in Greek life (frats, sororities)? Thanks.</p>
<p>wow
i wish this board was kinda more lively like the Mcgill Board.</p>
<p>Im really interested in this school and McGill,
but nobody ever replies.
As for your topic,
I would like to know too</p>
<p>yeah...no one ever comes on here
and I really need some info cause I'm having some trouble deciding if I want to go to Toronto.</p>
<p>AGREE totally...what's up with ppl not posting as much on the UofT as on the Mcgill forum?</p>
<p>From the princetonreview:
Enrollment: 56,819
Female: 56%
Out of State: 4%
International: 3%</p>
<p>it is strange isn't it? it is like this on facebook too. i suppose mcgill students in general have more pride... this is really making me wonder if the whole u of t isn't all that social is true.</p>
<p>I don't think it's that strange that McGill's forum would be busier. Generally, more U.S. students are interested in it than in U of T, which I don't really understand, but that's another issue. Anyway, for specific information like this, you should really check the U of T livejournal community where you can communicate with current students. </p>

<p>Having lots of experience with kids at U of T, including one of my Ds and several nieces and nephews, I've seen no evidence of U of T not being a 'social' place. As I've posted here many times, my D loves it there.</p>
<p>Thanks, alwaysamom, the explanation, link and account were helpful? But, do you have any idea about the proposed questions?</p>
<p>BWB, I'm sorry but I don't know enough about either (Greek life or racial demographics) to give you actual numbers. However, anecdotally, I can tell you that my D has met, and is friends with, students from all over the world, and of all races. It is a much more diverse student body than, for instance, NYU where one of my other Ds attends. Although there are fraternities and sororities at U of T, they are a very small presence. My D has never met even one student in two years there who is a member of either.</p>
<p>My DS goes to UofT also. He has attended a number of frat parties during rush season and made some friends in frats. However, they are not sanctioned at UofT and they're not a big part of the social scene. There are a handful of members at each house.My DS does not seem to have any lack of partying in his life, he has a lot of friends and they seem to enjoy themselves, if you get my drift. He enjoyed experiencing the frat parties (there is a long history in our family of men beloinging to one particular frat, so relatives were pushing him) but he has decided it is not his cup of tea. I think the residential college system really overrides a need for a Greek system. Kids in res together become very good friends and tend to party together and study together.
Those figures on Princeton review are wrong, UofT has about 9-10% international students according to teh UofT web site. They don'y keep figures on minorities in Canada so they don;t provide those figures.
My DS is also very pleased with UofT and his college (Victoria).</p>
<p>also want to agree with alwaysamom asbout using the UofT web site to chat with UofT students. Collegeconfidentail is a site amost totally devoted to American colleges and American students, it wouild not appeal to most people applying to UofT as Canadian kids don;t take SAT's, etc etc.</p>
