For summer courses, tutorials would have been helpful for they are much more demanding.

Personal comments
Accomodations are quite reasonable at U of T. In the summer as international student the room costs could range between $ 20 Canadian dollars a day. There is a shared washroom and the facilities are great. The residence is located in Victorian buildings and very close to the most popular areas in downtown. I definitely will highly recommend U of T as an alternative for any international student. If you want to taste the North American culture, Canada will delight you with its impressive services and also its multicultural society.

Just go for it! This is a great university with a typical Northamerican campus, full of facilities in a dynamic city...a bit far from other towns though, but distances are to an American scale of course.

Bring a bottle of wine and ask every friend who visits you to bring you one. No kidding!
Air France offers good deals for travelling from Barcelona. Air Canada is trying to set a direct conection between Toronto and Barcelona so check it out.

"the green room" - best cafe/bar
