1. In the Hart House reading room, by the pool table, “there was a little nook with a window,” remembers alum Stefania ‏(@ainafets528 on Twitter). “Loved it, don’t know if it’s still there.” It is!

2. What could be more romantic than a stroll in a quad – just like your own private garden. U of T has several of these secluded corners – here’s the Sir Daniel Wilson quad on a snowy day.

3. Shailender Ganger (‏@shellyganger on Twitter) says her heart sings “anywhere in UC”, because of its beautiful architecture. Like this?

7. You can meet your lover under the stars any clear night… or join in one of the tours of the cosmos offered year-round at the department of astronomy and astrophysics’s very own planetarium.
