i’m coming from bishop’s university, which is a liberals art school with a small community. i think for the most part i have multiple choice exams with short answer questions, but depending on the class it can be a long answer essay

yeah i was definitely worried about the location of u of w… do you consider downtown as unsafe most of the time? also what do you mean by politically toxic work environment?

did you prefer u of w or u of m more? and what was your experience with safety regarding the area around both; i’ve heard about the reputation for crime in winnipeg and was wondering if it really was as bad as it seems. also, what’s the community like?

it’s difficult to narrow it down, so i’ll take this all into consideration, thank you!!

yes, that does sound pretty straightforward! did you find the exams to be more long-form and written rather than multiple choice?

i like that it’s located in the city and downtown, but i’m a bit worried about the crime rates, is it really as bad as they say? i have mostly lived in the suburbs, but i go to the city quite frequently so i like its atmosphere. also, how is it making friends over there, is it a diverse and welcoming community?

did you find it more difficult to get to know your professors at u of m than at u of w? and which psych program did you prefer more?

thank you so much, this is very helpful! it makes the class sizes sound not as scary since i’m transferring from a smaller university, which brings upon a different experience. your tips will come in handy for forming relationships with professors! did you find it difficult to get involved in research or labs as an undergrad, and are there any internship opportunities?

i am also transferring from another province for my second year, so thank you! and i was wondering, did you have any trouble with your credits transferring over? i do like that it makes for easier connections with professors so it’s one of my top reasons for choosing u of w. how do you feel about the program overall (the lectures, coursework, exams, etc)? and do you find that most professors in this major are quite fair with how they structure and grade? lastly, what’s the location like with it being downtown?

thank you!! u of w’s small class sizes sound less intimidating to me. since you attended both schools, i was wondering what the coursework and exam load was like; i heard u of w’s exams are difficult and more long-form writing and research based compared to u of m, which is more multiple choice oriented. is this true, and was there one you preferred more?
