Student Sound Offs
"It is the classic university that I was looking for. I know the education I am receiving can potentially be the best in Canada assuming I get the right professors and choose my courses wisely."
"[I like] how great the college system is. The lounges, food services and student services offered by each individual college is something that should be given more attention. U of T shouldn't be thought of as a town with 40,000+ students, but a community of colleges."
"You are not just a number here. Lectures may be large in first year, but tutorials and labs are not, and the lectures are much smaller by fourth year."
"An 80% at U of T is probably a 90 or 95% at other universities across Canada."
"The [St. George] campus is wonderful, big with a great variety of things to do, there are numerous libraries, many opportunities to get involved by the students for the students... but it's A LOT of work."
"There are two types of students: non-residence students and residence students. Those who commute are very detached from the school community."
"There is a lack of school spirit and sense of community on campus. The students tend to be extremely competitive."
"A valuable resource is the Anti-Calendar produced by the student union, a collective review of all teachers compiled from questionnaires given to students. This vital tool helps students choose courses and teachers."
"The athletic services are six star! Yoga and Pilates classes are free for university students. Swimming pool, sauna, and gym facilities are above-average and enjoyable facilities."
"U of T has awesome writing clinics associated with each college. I go to the clinic almost every time I write a paper."
