ÇÑ×ÓÖ±²¥

With its plethora of unique architectural styles, the University of Toronto is the perfect place to take photos. Train your lens on U of T Mississauga’s idyllic nature spots, the St. George campus’s historical settings and ÇÑ×ÓÖ±²¥ Scarborough’s newly renovated modern backdrops.

There’s a location calling the name of every photographer – and every budding Instagram influencer.

True Blue, ÇÑ×ÓÖ±²¥â€™s mascot – and part-time Instagram model – guides us through some of the most Insta-worthy locations at the three campuses.

St. George campus

Between the 19^th-century elegance of Trinity College, the modern brutalism of Robarts and the edgy hybrid style of the Joseph L. Rotman School of Management, the St. George campus boasts a diverse range of Instagram-worthy spots. Here are a few suggestions on where to strike a pose:

Convocation Hall

Take advantage of the sunlight – and lack of pedestrian traffic – for a dazzling photo.

Donnelly Centre's bamboo forest

A great way to capture nature’s beauty without actually having to go outside.

University College

Strike a pensive (but cute) pose so that everyone knows you’re killing it – both academically and aesthetically. 

ÇÑ×ÓÖ±²¥ Mississauga

Natural landscapes make this the perfect place for a rugged photoshoot along one of ÇÑ×ÓÖ±²¥ Mississauga's many hiking trails. Be warned: Your Instagram success will always be overshadowed by accounts dedicated to the ubiquitous deer at ÇÑ×ÓÖ±²¥ Mississauga. Here’s where to go to give those doe-eyed influencers a run for their money:

Wilson Pond Bridge

Don your most fashionable hiking boots for a picturesque swamp-chic photoshoot.

Kaneff Centre

Take advantage of the Kaneff Centre’s gorgeous architectural backdrop.

Middle Road

Stroll down ÇÑ×ÓÖ±²¥ Mississauga's Middle Road for the perfect squad photo.  (That is the UTM Eagle with True Blue.)

ÇÑ×ÓÖ±²¥ Scarborough

Over the past decade, ÇÑ×ÓÖ±²¥ Scarborough has undergone an architectural revamp, transforming the campus into a hub of sleek, modern buildings. Whether you prefer to emphasize the old-school campus staples or the new gleaming glass structures, here are some of the campus’ most Instagram-worthy locations:

Humanities Wing boiler stacks 

Look ‘smoking’ in front of the iconic ÇÑ×ÓÖ±²¥ Scarborough boiler stacks.  

The Terrace

Play peek-a-boo with the camera while enjoying a walk through the Terrace, the Science Wing patio.

Meeting Place

Strike a pose with friends (or solo) against the Meeting Place’s scenic skylight and checked tiles.
