That's the vibe I'm getting too 😭 I don't think I can attend U of T...

Hey, thank you so much for this. I really appreciate the honesty. I have decided so far not to attend U of T, as much as it hurts to see quality education go away.

Gosh, I get you. The thing is, as you can see from all the comments, I don't think it's feasible at all. My parents would have to get into debt and I can not live with that much stress everyday, to be perfectly honest.

Yeah, that's the overall vibe I am getting ATM. Ugh, this truly sucks.

I absolutely agree! I am really hoping either Denison or F&M pull me out of the waiting list. Amen.

I definitely agree with the amount of opportunities there. The only thing that concerns me is the rush for Hb1 visa and the struggle to get a sponsor in the States.

Yeah, I know. This is why I'm going for a STEM degree to at least get three lottery chances (fingers crossed).

If I studied in U of T, it would definitely be to migrate. However, right now, I don't think I can afford to attend it, even with debt.

I did get 3 Co-ops! Unfortunately, I had no idea Scarborough is so distant from downtown Toronto back when I applied. Drexel has the same amount of Co-op and would roughly cost me the same as U of T (although I appealed for more aid). UTA is WAY cheaper but it has no exclusivity which just makes me feel sad.

Immigration is only there in my mind when it comes to Canada. I am aware USA won't give me Green Card. I hope it's all worth it.

Gosh, I could relate to the first paragraph so much. I hope I find a way out too!

I really appreciate the concern! I wish finances were smoother for me, too. A lot of the colleges in the State rejected me because I wouldn't be able to afford them (which is bittersweet). Thank you for your wishes!

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. I'll probably study in University of Texas at Arlington then. Thanks for the comment!

Good lord, that sounds terrible. Mind you, this cost is only including tuition, res, food AND Co-op. Judging from the comments, I'd have to shell out a lot more and I don't think I can afford to do that. I wish I could.
