In photos: °µÍøTV students make a much-anticipated return to campus
Published: September 8, 2021
Students returned to the University of Toronto’s three campuses this week, many with suitcases in tow – and at least one who wheeled her way back to school on roller skates.
While move-in days at residences looked a little different than they did before the pandemic, there was a familiar element: the palpable excitement as students got their first glimpse of their new digs and met other students who could well become lifelong friends.
The following images were captured by °µÍøTV Communications photographers who visited residences on each campus to document the prelude to another school year.

Whether you’re commuting to campus or living in residence, the Victoria College Quad is a popular spot for students looking to relax and get some sun on the St. George campus.

Masked and physically distanced, students line up for lunch at Chestnut Residence on the St. George campus, where in-person dining has returned with a focus on cooking from scratch and made-to-order meals that use local, sustainable and fair trade ingredients. More plant-based options are also available for vegetarians, vegans and anyone looking to increase their intake of leafy greens and vegetables.
Food stations are open, staff are excited to be back to work and mobile app pre-ordering is available at some locations. All practices have been approved by °µÍøTV's Office of Environmental Health & Safety.
