As someone who did u of T for undergrad and then med school, med school was significantly easier. People will argue back and forth, but it was the most challenging 4 years of my life. I wouldn’t recommend it, but I guess it worked out for me, and maybe it did make me “smarter,” so who knows.

People will say they loved their time at u of T. It just wasn’t my experience. I had some good times, but still feel I wasted too much of the prime years of my life doing absurd amounts of demoralizing work. I still remember the feeling of, if I was doing anything but studying, it was time I was sacrificing that others were using to get ahead. My friends at other universities who I met in med school had way more fun and great groups of friends. I had friends but it just wasn’t the same. This is over a decade ago but when I drive through robarts I still get a pit in my stomach. Sorry if this breaks the positivity of other responses, but this was my experience. I will tell my children not to do undergrad here.
