thank you for this! i'm going into my senior year of hs, and i'm considering applying to uoft, but the thought of uni seems both scary and exciting. You've reassured me and helped me gain a more positive outlook on uni life in general and i'm not even halfway through the video yet 😭❤

This was super helpful thank you!! I just got my transfer acceptance to U of T and am currently at a small school so knowing that they do have similar resources still open to students at a much bigger school is definitley going to help in decision making. Also love how thorough you were in explaining each one, super helpful!

thank you so much for this video! all the information was super helpful and I really appreciate your positive attitude because it’s so stressful constantly seeing everyone complaining about how depressing uoft is. I was also hoping if you could answer a question of mine! can a utm student access all the clubs and resources mentioned or are they only for st. george students?

@DreaKuntjoro Жыл бұрын

Of course! Glad this video could be helpful :) I believe they can! For example, as a UTSG student I know I'm able to book tennis courts at UTM, so I believe that it would go both ways for resources in general!

Im trying to decide between UNC- chapel hill, McGill & UfT for Life Sciences. At McGill, I was accepted both at the downtown campus in BSc Bio, Biomed, Life Sci & at Macdonald Campus BSc Ag/Enviro, where I can also study life sciences. caveat: I would have to go to Mac campus because I can’t afford the downtown program - which I don’t really mind because there are pros & cons to each campus and I’d move downtown then shuttle btwn campuses my second yr. Ultimately, I want to focus on biochemistry with an environmental undertone & minor in Poli Sci. Does anyone have advice on which school to choose?
