Student Life
Prior to the opening of the Student Centre, the University of Toronto Scarborough was one of two university campuses in Canada to not have a student activity centre. Upon opening, it became the home of student life, governance, and culture of the campus. The Student Centre is a three-story 48,000-square-foot (4,500 m2) building, where the office of the Scarborough Campus Students' Union (SCSU), office of Student Affairs of the University of Toronto Scarborough, as well as other offices of student clubs and organizations, are located. It also contains a television lounge, food court, public house, health and wellness centre, and multifaith prayer room.
Apart from the Student Centre's food court, other dining places on campus include The H-Wing Marketplace, located in the Andrews Building, and a future food court in the Instructional Centre. The campus also contains two Tim Hortons restaurants in the Andrews Building. The Rex's Den is a pub and dine-in restaurant, located in the first floor of the Student Centre. It was formerly operated as The Bluffs, which opened subsequently after the opening of the Student Centre, but was closed down and re-opened with its present name and improved service in 2009.
Student media on the campus include Fusion Radio, the campus's student-run internet radio station, and The Underground, the campus's official student newspaper. The campus also receives distributions of The Varsity.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“They tend to be suspicious, bristly, paranoid-type people with huge egos they push around like some elephantiasis victim with his distended testicles in a wheelbarrow terrified no doubt that some skulking ingrate of a clone student will sneak into his very brain and steal his genius work.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“Dragging out life to the last possible second is not living to the best effect. The nearer the bone, the sweeter the meat. The best of life, Passworthy, lies nearest to the edge of death.”
—H.G. (Herbert George)
