Enjoy a Family Feast Right Here at U of T
Attending university and the feeling of homesickness can often go hand-in-hand – new experiences and personal growth all taking place away from the places and people you call home.
But what if the feeling of home could be brought to campus? Food Services at U of T is looking to do just that with the Family Food Stories Dinner featuring real family recipes from U of T students – including University Family Housing!
On Wednesday, March 27 you’re invited to attend a family feast at Chestnut, New College, and CampusOne dining halls featuring the recipes submitted by U of T students.
Read more about these family food stories and what’s going to be served at the family feast.
