University of Toronto, Canada

The University of Toronto is a public research university in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, situated on the grounds that surround Queen's Park. Academically, the University of Toronto is noted for influential movements and curricula in literary criticism and communication theory, known collectively as the Toronto School. The University was the birthplace of insulin and stem cell research, and was the site of the first practical electron microscope, the development of multi-touch technology, the identification of Cygnus X-1 as a black hole, and the theory of NP-completeness. By a significant margin, it receives the most annual scientific research funding of any Canadian university.

Toronto is located in Southern Ontario on the north-western shore of Lake Ontario, situated on a broad sloping plateau intersected by an extensive network of rivers, deep ravines, and urban forest. Toronto is a vibrant city full of activity: some of the world's finest restaurants, bars, clubs and eclectic festivals are found here.
