For any student studying away from home,
finding a community on campus can be as
important to your success as completing
your homework. Luisa found this community
during her three years living in on-campus
housing. “Living in residence strengthened my
connection to Toronto and UTSC by providing
me the opportunity to make friends, get
involved and develop new life skills,” she says.
“Through the support offered, events planned
and the people, residence became a home away
from home and helped me through the hardest
parts of my degree.”
LUISA GRAGIRENA-HUSBANDS While she originally planned to take a year off
International Development Studies after her degree, Luisa’s experience in residence
(co-op) and as a Residence Advisor has inspired her
Bridgetown, Barbados to look at pursuing a Masters of Education in

grounding to build upon as she prepares for her
