CDI College’s Scarborough campus is located within the centre of the business community on one of the city’s main streets.

Named the greenest area of Toronto, Scarborough mixes both business and nature together, making it an ideal place to live, work, and play. The close proximity of Lake Ontario, Rouge Park, and Scarborough Bluffs gives students a great way to spend their free time relaxing.

Students do not have to go far to find great places to eat and shop. Various restaurants and cafes can be found down the street from the campus along with a grocery store, personal and health services, and retail shops.

The campus is easily accessible, whether students are driving or taking public transportation. The Scarborough RT, a rapid transit line on the subway, or local buses are available for students to get to and from campus. 

Scarborough is located east of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), but is considered part of the City of Toronto. The area is home to many great attractions and things to do in both the summer and winter.
 

Arts and Culture

Theatre Scarborough is the best place to catch the city’s most recent plays and musicals. The playhouse has hosted many different plays, from murder mysteries to dramas, and offers student priced tickets throughout the year.

The Scarborough Museum is located in Thomson Memorial Park. The museum showcases the history and culture of Scarborough and provides great insight into how the city was developed. It is open year-round for a small admission fee or students can visit on “pay-what-you-can” weekends.

Attractions

The most popular attraction in Scarborough is the Toronto Zoo. Home to over 5,000 species, the zoo is the perfect place to learn about animals and the environment as well as enjoy entertainment for the whole family. The zoo also has over nine kilometers of walking trails, so you can get out and enjoy nature.

Parks

Scarborough has many areas for students to enjoy green spaces including numerous community parks and recreation areas.

The Scarborough Bluffs, which run for 14 kilometers along Lake Ontario, provide residents and visitors with amazing scenic views of cliffs and water. You can enjoy the bluffs by taking a walk or hike through the adjoining park during summer and wintertime or take a boat ride along the lake.

Getting involved with the community is one of the best ways to meet new people and give back to those in need.

As a student, you have an unlimited opportunity to lend a hand with a non-profit organization that is looking for support and expertise ranging from clerical administration and event coordination to sports and children’s activities.
