In our Summer 2008 program, participants will have the opportunity to stay in residence while studying with the DEEP Program. Participants in the optional residence program will stay in the heart of campus at the New College residences, only a 5 minute walk from our engineering complex. Students will live and dine together at New College, while participating in a variety of after-class activities. A trained staff of residence counsellors and Dons will live with the participants and lead the activities and events. The residence program is a great opportunity to explore Toronto's diverse cultural and recreational activities, and will allow students to gain some insight into what residence is really like!

If you are participating in the residence option, you will receive more detailed information about the program in your pre-course package in June.
