Personal comments
Toronto is a great place if you like to go to clubs! Richmond Street and John Street are the best places to go out.
If the weather is nice don't forget to go to the Beaches in the East part of Toronto. If you want to eat at a really cheap price go to Korean Town. To shop go to the Eaton Center or to Queen Street (my favorite street).

Personal comments
I've been living for one term on campus and one term off campus. I prefered living off campus: i was closer from shops, clubs, places to see and to go. I was living with four other foreigners (3 students and 1 workers) in the Korean part of Toronto, it was a great experience!
