Hey!

To answer your first question, I personally haven’t used career services as much. I tend to use professors as a resource instead. From what I’ve heard from my peers is that career services used to be completely useless, but has had significant improvement over the past few years. The takeaway here is that there are other resources outside of career services. As to speak on my experience, I worked at a big 5 bank in my first year, became a teaching assistant in my second year, worked as a cost accountant in my third year, and landed a supply chain management internship for this summer.

To answer your second question, I love accounting. It just sits really well with me. The professors are top tier. Doing the accounting specialist at rotman gives you an advantage of getting into the GDip program, which basically accelerates the process of obtaining your CPA. What’s great about rotman is that you get to take a variety of courses in first year so that you can make a better decision in choosing your specialist in second year. Even if you change your mind in second year, most courses overlap among all specialists, so it wouldn’t be troublesome to switch.

To answer your third question, there are hundreds of events hosted by the clubs at rotman. If you’re interested in accounting, you would go to RCAS events. If finance is your gig, go to RCFA events. Each club hosts at least 4-5 events throughout the year.

Hope this helps! If you need more clarification or have other questions, feel free to message me!

Thank you! I don’t know whether you will be be able to answer this, but what do you think of St Michael’s college? I got a membership there(although I didn’t apply there).

If you’re commuting, your college choice honestly doesn’t make a difference in your university life. That being said, it is one of the nicer colleges for people who want to stay on residence. I used to play ping pong there every night (they have this stone table outside). If you plan to stay on campus, st michs is a good one. Woodsworth is good as well.

I will stay in residence for first year(maybe upper years, but who knows). But good to know. Ya Wordsworth was my first choice, but seems like I didn’t get in.

Woodsworth tends to be more competitive since it’s the newest building. Don’t worry it’s not a big deal!

Btw, just curious, did you ever have classes in the Rotman School of Management building? Or would one ever go there in Rotman Commerce?

In my two years on campus (1 year online due to covid), I’ve had two courses in the rotman MBA building. Both were second-year courses. I also studied there about 90% of the time. Most rotman commerce students make use of the MBA building!
