History of University of Toronto
The university was founded in 1827 under a British Royal Charter as King's College, to provide education for the growing population of Upper Canada (present day Canadian province of Ontario). University of Toronto since then has been in the middle of great moments in world history and has even been the originator of it! One of those most notable moments is the discovery of penicillin right at University of Toronto by Banting & Best which has now made diabetes a less fatal disease than it used to be before the discovery of insulin and penicillin (they won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1923 for their work; one of six won by professors from University of Toronto).

About the colleges
The university has a range of colleges in it. Every student in the department of Arts and Science (the largest department in Canada) enrolls in one of the colleges, in order to be part of a more intimate academic, intellectual and social community. Each of these colleges have their own student accommodations, own programs of study, their own libraries (because of this University of Toronto has the 4th largest library system in all of North America), their own student associations which students can join and meet new friends in, academic centers which help students with their assignments and their own scholarship awards.
1) University College (the first building of the University of Toronto campus, thus the oldest building) in a gorgeous castle-like building offers courses on Health Studies (i.e. community health), Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence, Canadian Studies, Drama, Peace and Conflict Studies and Sexual Diversity Studies.
