A Healthier You

November is a busy time of year—possibly one of the busiest for U of T Engineering undergrads. Most of your midterm marks have been posted and you may already be thinking ahead to final examinations in December.

While projects, papers and studying may take up the majority of your day, it is important to remember to take care of yourself. The Faculty and University have numerous resources and services to help students achieve balance.

Have concerns about your grades? Academic advisors are available to help undergrads throughout all four years of study. Need a break? Enjoy a workout at the Hart House Fitness Centre or try mindful meditation. Want to learn healthy habits? The Health and Wellness Centre can help you learn how to reduce stress, refuel and build community.

Take a break. Get involved. Get connected.
