Students are not impressed U of T's downtown campus remains open today
When schools announce a snow day, students usually celebrate.
But that’s not the case for many U of T students who attend the university’s downtown campus.
As of 9 am, during one of the worst snowstorms so far this winter, the campus remains open.
According to U of T’s website, it is the only campus open today, with its Scarborough and Mississauga campuses both closed.

Of course, students are not taking this news lightly… considering they would have to trek through near white-out conditions outside today.

are you serious!!!!! St George Students are the only students in the city who will be forced to go out in these conditions! This is despicable behaviour, we too are commuters and travel long ways which are dangerous in this weather!
