Living in Toronto

Convocation hall in snow

Wycliffe College is located in the heart of downtown Toronto, a dynamic, culturally diverse, modern city with a population of more than 6 million. 


Museum Subway Station

We are only steps away from local transit, which makes it easy to explore the museums, games, festivals, concerts and special events that make Toronto such a great place to live and study.


Toronto HarbourFront

Take a short subway ride to explore the cafes and restaurants along the Toronto Harbourfront.


Spadina Ave

Students are encouraged to meet their new neighbours, find a church and serve in their community. Toronto is a city of international neighbourhoods such as Little India, Greektown, Little Italy and Chinatown.


Relaxing at High Park

Students with families will find lots of daycare and child-friendly activities just around the corner. They will also find parks and green spaces like Queens Park and High Park - a great place to picnic, read, play, stroll or just plain relax.


Toronto Island Paths

Many shops and vendors are just around the corner

Wycliffe is only minutes away from great shopping experiences. Scour for bargains in the Fashion District or enjoy the many outdoor vendors.
