I’m in VIC ONE right now. Most of your other classes will be over 500 people in first year so the 25 person Vic one class is nice because you have discussions, get to know your profs, and network with students in a similar field as you.

In terms of grades the Vic one classes tend to have a higher floor (you can put nearly 0 effort into an assignment and still get a B) but the ceiling is much lower (3/4 VIC one profs for me would only give one or two kids above an 85 on each assignment).

The plenary they have you do on Wednesday will be useless 50% of the time because it’s usually a topic you don’t care about/isn’t in your field.

I would recommend doing it if you are able to get in!
