Loretto College is a residence for women at St. Michael’s College within the University of Toronto, where students are invited to participate fully in a Christian and academic community. It is the goal of Loretto College to create a collegial and co-operative community, mindful of the multi-cultural and spiritual traditions of our students. Our aim is to promote the principles of understanding by fostering interactions that acknowledge individuals and groups, while supporting personal growth and the development of positive relationships with others.
Security for our 156 students is provided by around the clock security patrols and a porter, who is on duty 24 hours a day. A WalkSafer service provides added security for students coming home from night class.
Residents at Loretto College are able to use the St. Michael’s College facilities, such as student lounges, the John M. Kelly Library, St. Basil’s Church, the Writing Centre, Math Aid Labs, and programs and activities of the St. Michael’s Chaplaincy.
