远方之外，仍是归处。
We bring Chinese undergraduates at U of T together through culture, connection, and the shared experience of building a life in Toronto.
About CUAUT关于我们
A community for the distance between where you came from and who you’re becoming.
Founded in 2002, CUAUT is a non-profit, non-political social, academic, and cultural organization. We connect Chinese students from Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, and around the world—and welcome the wider U of T community interested in Chinese culture and Mandarin.
Through practical academic and living guidance, social and cultural programs, and leadership opportunities, we help students build networks, settle into life away from home, and grow with the university community.
