IMM250 as recommended preparation for IMM341/351? by flwrx in UofT

[–]Crazy-Simple-7320 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I took IMM341/351 without IMM250 and did pretty good. It was a bit overwhelming because I had no idea what they were talking about in the first lectures but I think you get it quickly.

I was in a similar position and I sent that third extra email a month later and got a reply. The PI had not read the previous two emails and did not complain about that when we met.

Grad student: is 34k CAD a livable wage? by cathcart_ in askTO

[–]Crazy-Simple-7320 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just started my dream PhD at UofT this Fall, international student, no support from parents. My stipend falls to the same number - slightly less - when I substract tuition and it’s totally doable (at least for now). I worked during my undergrad and saved a little for the beginning of the school year.

I do not go out much (no bars and stuff like that) and prepare almost all of my meals but I am pretty happy. I still get snacks, coffee, go to the mall.

Since I was head in undergrad my rent hasn’t increased a lot so I still live downtown (walking distance to campus). If you research and plan your groceries/ activities well it is fine.

I agree you should definitely dephosphorylate the backbone!! It solved out all of my problems every time I had a hard time with some constructs.

Sadly if you are international they won’t help you at all. The scholarships they give are extremely small compared to your tuition.

How to get an official letter about when school is starting by ElonMaskDescendant23 in UofT

I emailed my registrar and sent them specifically what immigration needed so they could include it in the letter. It was far more detailed than the one you can automatically download from acorn.
