Smiles, tears and plenty of helping hands: Students move into residence on U of T's three campuses
Published: September 6, 2022
The ÖØ¿ÚζSM was a hub of activity over the Labour Day long weekend as students and their friends and families arrived on the three campuses with boxes, laptops and other belongings – all ready to move into residence buildings ahead of the new school year.
For many students, the act of moving away from home and into residence marked an exciting new chapter in their lives. Parents, meantime, beamed with pride and wiped away more than a few tears as they helped their children settle in for a successful term.
