Congrats! The new Young Centre for the Performing Arts that you get to take advantage of is wonderful and the Distillery Distric and King East area you're in offers alot. The connection you'll have with Soulpepper and all the other companies that present there make for a fantastic opportunity. You should be really proud of getting in.
I used to work there as a stagetech and lighting guy and a lot of my friends still do so I know it well.
As for the rest of the city, you sound like your getting the hang of it. No doubt there'll be some locals in your class that will make fine ambassadors to the city and can find the scene that's right for you. Just don't forget the island. Once past the demoralizing ferry terminal, it's a wonderful respite.
And Baraka is right. Aberkok's gigs are most excellent.
