Aside from the cost of transport, students may wish to buy lunch, snacks, or drinks on campus. If students are planning on buying lunch, we suggest you budget $10-$15/meal. The rest is at your discretion. As of September 2011, the University of Toronto is bottled water-free. This means that there is no sale or distribution of bottled water and there are water filling stations available in the Medical Sciences Building and around the campus.

Meals are not included in the program fees. Students are welcome to bring their own lunch or to buy lunch at the various cafeterias, restaurants, and food trucks in and around the U of T campus.
