Explore Mississauga toursA campus beside the Credit River
U of T describes its Mississauga campus as a protected greenbelt setting along the Credit River. The campus tour introduces academic buildings, residences and student gathering places, giving you a way to connect the aerial view with the routes you would walk each day.
Include time outside the formal tour to find a study spot, look at food options and walk between the places you expect to use. If you are comparing Mississauga with downtown St. George, visit each separately rather than assuming they share the same daily routine.
Compare the actual room styles
UTM's residence directory separates first-year, upper-year, summer and other housing options. It also links a 2026–2027 room comparison chart. Start with your student group, then compare the buildings and room arrangements available to that group.
The first-year directory includes options such as Oscar Peterson Hall, Roy Ivor Hall and the New Residence Building. Do not choose from an older photograph alone: check the current building page, shared facilities, meal arrangements and application terms. For a visit, ask which residence spaces the tour will include.

Make time for the RAWC
The Recreation, Athletics & Wellness Centre, usually called the RAWC, provides spaces for sport, fitness and recreation. Its accessibility features include a pool lift, an elevator, accessible washrooms and a privacy change facility.
If recreation is part of your routine, include the RAWC in your campus visit and check the current activity schedule before you go. Ask about the activities you enjoy, the equipment or access support you need, and any registration required for a particular program.
Check transit and inter-campus travel
UTM's public-transit guide lists Mississauga bus connections and nearby GO stations, including Erindale and Clarkson. Use it as a starting point, then check the transit operator's current journey planner for your origin and travel time.
A university shuttle connects Mississauga and St. George, with a separate service to Sheridan's Trafalgar campus. Boarding rules differ for UTM students and other riders, and travel times depend on traffic. Check the timetable, stop and eligibility before treating the shuttle as part of your daily plan.
Choose a tour that includes your questions
UTM offers student-led walking tours, virtual tours and a self-guided option. The tour information includes an option to see residence; check the current arrangements when booking and allow extra time if housing is part of your visit.
Use the official maps and directions before travelling. Bring a short list of questions about your academic area, where you would live or commute from, and the services you would use. The tour team asks visitors who need an accessibility accommodation to contact them in advance.
Check the Mississauga program route
Look up your intended subject in U of T's program finder and confirm that its campus is Mississauga. Many U of T programs use an admission category before students select a program of study; the official listing identifies the category for each program.
Record the prerequisites and any later program-entry requirements alongside your campus impressions. Our programs and admissions guides help you compare the academic route without making the campus's setting a substitute for checking your eligibility.
Questions to take on your visit
- Which admission category leads toward my intended subject?
- Which residence styles are available to my year group?
- How does my route work during an early class or evening activity?
- What would I use at the RAWC, and what needs registration?
