As to the article in question, who really knows. It's a questionable statistic at best.
Are there sugar babies at U of T?
My answer would be absolutely.
Are there as many as this article claims?
My answer is absolutely not.
First, they would need to poll U of T students and I severely doubt that they would get an honest sampling or answer. First off, how do you do that? Stand out front of Robarts library and poll girls walking in? That would get you 2 things. First, many young women would think you were a creeper and just give a sarcastic yes just to tell you what you want to hear and get past you. Second, you'd get a visit from the campus police real fast and told to get the fuck out.
So then you could try polling sugar babies on whatever website. And they are ALL going to say they are university students. Of course they are. Even if they are Grade 10 dropouts, they're all going to say, "I'm in "pre-med" at U of T". Because they all know "U of T because it rhymes and pre-med because they've heard it on TV enough to think its actually a discipline at U of T. (Note to you poon hounds out there there is no such course as "pre-med" in Canada, let alone U of T.)
Every old buzzard out there likes to think he's scored a young undergraduate student who is top of her class and working toward a degree in English literature or Biology or whatever.
Bad news boys, odds are slim to none.
Most young women going to university full time are not interested in the trade. They are too busy studying and being in university. They are usually just like most people out there. From all walks, mostly middle class families and wanting to go to school.
And lastly, exactly what qualifies a person as a U of T student? There's full time, part time, grad student, continuing education. Hell, I've taken French courses as continuing education at U of T. Does that qualify me as a U of T student?
So to sum it up, it's possible your SB is a full time U of T student. But its hugely more likely she's not.
Sorry to be a buzz kill.
