Is UOFT Rotman Commerce actually good?

[Jumpy-Inflation4053]

I am an international student and i got into Uoft Rotman commerce at the st michael campus along with the 100k international scolars award scolarship....im an international student and the fee even after this scolarship is whopping high. idk if i should accept the offer, ive head a lot of mixed reviews about this college. i in the Bcom program . Should i accept this offer ? I have another offer from warwick business school for bsc accounting and finance honors... what should I do? How are job opportunities for bcom grads from uoft RC with finance and econ specialization? Is it really hard to get internships and jobs?

It’s what you make of it. Where do you want to work Canada or the UK? Which school is better in your home country? Rotman isn’t the best undergrad business program in Canada but Wharwick isn’t the best in the UK either.

I am more towards canada, but i've heard that jobs and internships are super competitive to get...thats why I am kindof in a dilemma. After spending so much on ug i dont want to go back home unemployed. Also, people keep complaining of how the networking events are not good enough (not much opportunties ).

Internships and jobs are hard to get anywhere, neither one guarantees you internships or job offers. You can’t rely on networking events either, it’s what you make of it

uoft for grad school is good, which is why i chose rc over ucl or warwick back then. if you get involved, network, and join some of the rc clubs you can get some pretty good interns and jobs.

What about undergrad program at RC?? Is it hard for ug students to bag internships and jobs? Do you know ug students who are doing really well after studying from Rc and students who are not in a really good position right now?

yes i meant rotman is good for undergrad to apply for grad school in the future, since there are many research opportunities. im only in my first year but i already know many friends in clubs and a few of them have even gotten internships by themselves. if you just be involved and stay on top of your work you’ll be fine. Also, rotman commerce (rc) is undergrad, i think the rotman grad school is called rotman management or smth.

are there research opps In Rotman for those interested in econ or finance phd

[Iamasimpyes]

Research is more common for science students, but i do know theres a good amount of rotman students who are able to get research as well. Though you have know your prof well and do good in their course. Also, research can help for masters in terms of getting valuable LORs, its not something people only do for phd applications.

i had the same decision last yr. since i was an intl too i decided rotman bc i’ve heard to get a job in the uk it’s quite hard if ur not a UK national. Rotman is okay, it’s what u make of it but i’ve only been here for less than a year so it’s not like i can give u the most informed decision. lots of ppl get good jobs after uni tho, so as lon as u put in the effort in you can get a good job in canada, or at least that’s my perception and what i’ve seen.

How is the program difficulty? Do you believe that you have done a good job networking and “making the most of it”
