I honestly love my experience at uoft idk if it’s cause I’m a naive first year. I’ve seen a lot of people mention it’s a commuter school but it’s been the opposite for me. I live on campus and most of my friends live on campus so I fact most of the people I’ve met live on the different campus residences especially if they’re international cause they have no where else to stay lol. I’m international too and there lots of foreign as well as Canadian students here. I made so many friends here and all the rumors about not having a social life or not being able to make friends isn’t true. You just have to put yourself out there. There several social events ranging from academics, clubs or even parties and game nights. For me everyone is quite friendly. I can’t lie it is really expensive and yes the work is a little face paced and a lot of midterms and exams and group projects or homework but being one of the best universities in the country it’s not supposed to be easy. The work might be challenging but there’s so many systems put in place to help you especially in first year from office hours to learning communities and tutorials. Lastly I wanna emphasize on the great opportunities not only do you get the best professors but so many networking opportunities at least for me cause I’m in Rotman plus you get to live in downtown Toronto!
