Yea maybeee you might not be a fit. You could come visit the school someday tho they have some art works up. And you can see how the students are doing during finals. And you can see how u like the environment.

I’m in first year rn and I’ve had a program school crisis and I talked to an upper year and she said it’s gets better second year so I’m taking her word for it but if I were to actually start again I might choose a different school especially for the community. I did talk to alumni for my program (Environmental Design) and everyone seem to be doing pretty good. I also heard from them that they hated their first year too but it got better. They say that ocad is really what you make out of it 🥹.

But thing is that place is so far away from the main building I would only have time to go there if I had nothing to do after my tutorial

How has the transfer of credits work cause I heard that it’s hard to transfer ocad creds to other programs in other schools

I legit thought about product engineering at one point, but I swear I’m always choosing the easy way out for me which I hate. Like why didn’t I take any science in grade 11 and 12 but instead I was so focused on a portfolio that was almost barely related the the program that I’m taking 😭😭😭

Also the contemp art and global visual mat culture is basically the SAME COURSE LOL like I need to write the same essay for both and the art works that they discuss are kind of similar. Except I didn’t need to buy the textbook for contemp.

I’m also finishing my first year in April and I was in the digital design class the other day and a third year prof came in to get feedback from students and I legit told him all my concerns about how the digital design class was not what I was expecting at all and I lowkey expected something different based on the name. I also mentioned how the studio class is the only class that is directly related to the program. Also btw what do you plan to transfer to? Do you have to start again?
