Hey there, international students! So, you've just arrived in Toronto and you're probably wondering, "How do I meet new people and get involved in this vibrant city?" Well, don't worry because Toronto is an exciting place, full of opportunities to make friends, explore new hobbies, and discover a community. Whether you’re an extrovert looking to socialize or a more reserved person hoping to find a cozy group, there's something for everyone here. And the best part? You don’t have to do it alone — Dream House is here to make sure you have plenty of chances to meet new friends, discover fun events, and feel at home in your new city.

Join Student Clubs and Organizations
Toronto’s universities and colleges are packed with student-run clubs and organizations, and the best way to meet new people is by joining one (or more!) that interests you. Whether you’re into sports, photography, music, or even cultural exchange, there’s a club for that. These clubs are not only great for making friends but also for expanding your horizons and getting involved in the student community. Many universities also have events throughout the year, such as orientations and socials, which are fantastic for newcomers.
You can start by checking out your school’s website or bulletin boards to see what’s available. But here’s the thing — you don’t have to stop there. Dream House offers a wide variety of activities and events where you can meet fellow Dream House residents who are also new to the city and eager to explore Toronto.
Dream House Events: Where New Friends Meet!
At Dream House, we understand that being away from home can be tough, especially when you're in a new city and don't know anyone yet. That’s why we host regular events to bring our residents together, whether it’s a cozy movie night, a friendly game night, or even themed parties designed to celebrate the different cultures our residents come from. It’s the perfect chance to meet new people, bond over shared experiences, and create memories that will last throughout your stay in Toronto.
Plus, Dream House is more than just a place to stay — it’s a community. Whether you're new to Toronto or have been here for a while, our events are a fantastic way to connect with others who are also navigating life as an international student. So don’t be shy, show up, have fun, and make some lifelong friends!
Explore the Toronto Student Events Scene
Aside from what’s happening at Dream House, Toronto itself is buzzing with events, festivals, and meetups for students. Every month, you'll find activities like trivia nights, karaoke, comedy shows, and live music performances. These events are usually very affordable, especially for students, and often take place in the heart of the city or in neighborhoods close to your school.
Also, many student groups organize events throughout the year, including mixers, potlucks, and cultural celebrations, making it easy for you to find your tribe. If you want to stay in the loop, keep an eye on social media pages and event platforms like Facebook Events or Meetup — they’re great resources for discovering what’s going on around town.
Dream House residents also share recommendations for cool things to do in the city, so make sure you stay connected with your fellow residents and explore Toronto together!
Volunteer and Give Back to the Community
Looking to meet people while giving back? Volunteering is a fantastic way to get involved and make a positive impact. Toronto is home to a variety of nonprofit organizations that are always looking for volunteers. Whether it’s working with local shelters, environmental groups, or helping out at community events, volunteering allows you to connect with like-minded people while contributing to meaningful causes.
Don’t Forget to Explore Toronto’s Cultural Scene
Toronto is a city of diversity, and that means there’s always something going on to celebrate various cultures. From cultural festivals to international food markets, there’s no shortage of things to explore. Dream House encourages all residents to get out there and experience the city, and we often organize group outings to festivals, museums, and cultural events. It’s a fantastic way to experience Toronto’s unique cultural blend while meeting fellow students who are also eager to explore.
