8. EXPLORING THE CITY
There is a world outside your university campus and bars. Really, I promise.
It‟s so easy to get stuck in “the university bubble”, but lets face it. The regular
cycle of clubs, bars and classes gets old really fast. Maybe its time to explore
the city you live in?
Over the last couple of weeks I‟ve been doing just that, braving the heat and
stepping out into the metropolitan wilderness that is Toronto. And boy was
I surprised. Who knew Toronto was so alive, even during the day time?
I‟ve come to the realization that if I‟m planning on spending an extended
amount of time in any one city, why not try to get to know it as thoroughly
as possible?
Here‟s a list to help plan your own urban adventure in any season!

9. 1. Check out music, arts and culture festivals that are taking place in the city you live
in.
If you live in a typical college town, try a neighboring city‟s events – public transit is your best
friend! Although these usually happen in the summer time, the sporadic winter festivals are
usually an excellent excuse to get out and play in the snow.
2. Museums.
Seriously. In my opinion, probably one of the most underused cultural hubs by students. Most
offer discounted prices for students, and some are actually free! Museums are a really neat way
to gain exposure to the things you might be studying, or to just develop a holistic and informed
approach to the world.
3. Restaurants.
I currently have a list of top restaurants I want to visit stored on my phone that I‟m constantly
updating. Do a bit of research, and get to know what restaurants your city is famous for!
Although these might be a bit pricey, try the lunch prix fixe or keep your eye out for events
with discounted menus.
4. Most cities have deep historical connections, with important sites scattered all
across the city.
It can be really cool to take a little time out to sit and wonder about all the people who sat in the
same spot as you, and how far your city has come since then. Plus, you might even learn
something in the process!
5. Spend some time in nature, in and around your city.
If you live in a city on a lake, in a forest, in the mountains – get out there and explore! Being in
nature clears your mind and leaves you feeling refreshed. Best part is, its free!
