Slightly better render:
^That last photo demonstrates precisely why I loathed Erindale in the 90s and would still today--it's a very car culture commuter campus. Nasty.
Also, there is a disconnection between the campus and where it's located. As someone who enjoyed many afternoons in Streetsville and Port Credit, I can say I felt more in India than in Mississauga while at UTM. There was no focus whatsoever on local culture, and it speaks volumes that nothing even remotely traditional to mississauga is offered around this university.
Why serve fosters when you have Old Credit brewing right around the corner for example? Why was there never any mention of hockey anywhere? Why have the majority of the people who live on residence never ventured further than Square One looking for things to do and places to go to.

I'm kinda confused what you mean by culture. You say culture, and then talk about beer and hockey. Living in Mississauga and having attended St George, I don't recall U of T downtown having much culture either. Nice historic buildings, yes. Proximity to downtown, yes. Besides, people at U of T (I assume this applies to UTM as well) are there to study, not to experience culture, whatever that means anyway.
