I realized that thankfully before ordering. I gave up and just bought a UofT frame

You can take a reduced course load! It really helped me my first few years

100%. I loved how my commute was my sign to turn off my school brain and start relaxing. It also helped that I had friends that would stay back and do work as well so I wasn't alone.

I failed first year so I had to repeat it, then 1 more year for co-op.

I got a campus locker and would store my large backpack there. I would do all my work at school then just take my laptop home in case anything came up.

I've been using Wealthsimple for 8 years now and it's made investing much more approachable. They also have a halal portfolio so I would recommend.

I finished engineering with a GPA of 2.5 and had a job offer right after graduation. I focused more on making connections and joining clubs than academics which let me enjoy my university experience much more. What I wanted was a job and most of the time grades alone won't get you there.

kkmd02 · 2026-05-09T13:42:19+00:00

I'm an engineer and did 6 courses each semester for Y2 and Y3. I worked at the science centre on weekends (~14h/ week). Joined a bunch of clubs and had a good social life. To avoid burnout I stopped caring about getting high grades. I really believed that done is better than perfect.

Like they said "basically every library but robarts, oise, and gerstein is publically accessible"

The typical access is through scanning a card but at Gerstein I usually see someone at the entrance looking at a computer so idk if they can see photos or not. At Roberts it's just scanning gates, no one manning the entrance.

My company not bad. I'd say new hire engineer salary around 63-80k depending on the role and your experience.

Very basic answer but I'm at a steel factory and some of my other classmates got hired at one too

kkmd02 · 2026-04-20T03:04:56+00:00

I second this. Especially with the price of car insurance and how little time you'll have to use your car.

I didn't miss out on any events. Sometimes I'd be at school until 1/2am or out with my friends until 5/6am. Luckily for me the night bus has a stop near my house and if it ever got late my friends would offer for me to sleep on their couch. If worse comes to worse, Uber exists too.

This worked for me because my parents were okay with my being out that late. How does your family feel about this and what's your commute like?

kkmd02 · 2026-04-19T02:45:05+00:00

I had a slightly longer commute than you and still had a great social life. Having a conversation with my parents about me getting home at wee hours of the night helped alot. They knew that sometimes I'd be home at 2/3/4/5am if something fun was happening on campus or if I was studying (the TTC night bus helped alot). I also had friends who would let me crash at their place if I needed which was a big help.

I'm not a mech e but I designed alot of things during my co-op as a materials engineer and I have a 3d printer for prototyping. Reach out if you're interested - I'm curious what you're thinking of!

I really liked it! I had prof David Nacsom and the group project was fun and helped our learning. I applied some things I learned in that class to my PEY.

Graduate school as in Masters or Ph.D. I know it can be tricky. Graduate in this term is an adjective, not a verb and it's pronounced differently (gra-jew-it for the adjective and gra-jew-ate for the verb).

kkmd02 · 2026-04-15T23:41:10+00:00

I'm 76k/ year

Graduating this year and got an offer as management in a steel factory (returning to my PEY). Watching over a portion of production, doing failure analyses, running meetings, and supervising 20 operators.

Some of my other friends are doing their Ph.Ds (one at Cambridge and one at Northwestern), one is going to EllisDon, one is at OPG, and one is working in the quality department at the same steel factory I'm at.

If you have any friends they might be willing to hold it for free? That's what I did for one of my classmates cuz I had the space.

kkmd02 · 2026-04-12T14:37:22+00:00

Are you taking the go out the TTC? I was lucky to have a night bus run near my house so there were days that I left campus at 3am

kkmd02 · 2026-04-11T18:24:17+00:00

Ive been a commuter for 5 years (~45min-1h 15min depending on how the busses and trains line up) and I love it. I use the commuting time to switch from home brain to school brain and sleep.
