What students say about University of Toronto
Likes
- A strong work ethic is required. Following all the instructions in the course material will guarantee a good grade for students.
- Depending on where you work, government jobs (in most cases) pay more than private ones. Apply online as required.
- There are a lot of opportunities available to us after completing this program, and the research facilities are also very good here.
- This was available to all first-year students at St. Michaels College, University of Toronto.
- The campus life is amazing. We have student lounges to play foosball or pool, and just chill and hangout. However, you do not get the time to do all of these.
- Laurier is wonderful when it comes to the residence they offer to their students.
- Some teachers utilize articles and podcasts, which I prefer because they are free and more accessible.
- You can ask almost any question, and they will always give you their best advice/suggestions.
- Toronto is the hub for AI, and I have family here, so it seemed like the best option.
Dislike
- As well, the process of getting your money back when you drop a course is not applicable for any other term, which is very disappointing

I chose this university as I wanted to experience a new country and be challenged academically. It was also cheaper than other American private schools. Overall, I would say that it was a rough journey but I am happy to have made it through. I met some amazing people along the way and really grew as a person throughout my time there.
Likes:
- I admire the faculty we have who are open to dealing with our problems and issues throughout the day. They urge all students to attend office hours offered by various departments for external help and clarifications. null
- I love the amazing opportunities we have on campus such as joining clubs, being a part of the varsity (our mascot) as well as representing our community and university in a bunch of sports like football, cricket, and basketball. null
- There are quite a few options for a good meal on campus as well right from their canteen to Tim Hortons, Starbucks, and Subway! .
- Our library is open throughout the school day up until 10 PM every day and also open 24/7 during the exam season which allows all students to seek the right resources and atmosphere of working and being productive during such times. null
- The amazing culture at our university is something that stands out, we have students from all over the world it is amazing to indulge with people with different backgrounds and perspectives as well as ensure to network with them and get access to more opportunities. null
- We have classes of usually 500 students, however, we also do have smaller classes known as tutorials which is a class of just 20-25 students with the TAs where we can personally ask them our doubts. null
- Our campus is spread across acres and we have multiple buildings across the facility for different programs, for example, for CCIT, Management/Commerce, Computer Science, Sports, and Residences. null
- We have amazing tie-ups with MNCs and other corporates as well that provide us with amazing opportunities such as ScotiaBank, RBC, JP Morgan, Deloitte, Apple, American Express and IBM. null
- We have Co-op on all campuses now which gives students the opportunities to experience the work culture in Canada and explore the different industries while completing their degree. null
Dislikes:
- The timings of our canteen and other food places on campus are limited during the days and shut down early on weekends. null
- Our classes are huge consisting of about 300-500 students which might be a problem sometimes as the professor does not get to address every student individually. null
- No student is in their intended major in the first year as we have an additional requirement to be cleared which is to make POST (Program of our choice) to which we are admitted in our second year. This makes the university highly competitive and filters out students at the initial stage itself. null
- Finances must be a concern for many international students as UofT has one of the highest fee requirements in the whole of Canada. null
- Academic advisors and career counselors might be hard to reach out to many times as their schedules are busy with students from the upper years. null
I chose this university because UofT has always been my dream university since my brother was admitted here. He recently graduated. I always used to hear him boast about how UofT is such a great school and a huge opportunity for international students to grow in and explore further. The competitiveness of UofT is one thing that was scary but attractive as well as it filters out the best students from all over the world and provides opportunities to all of them through resources on campus such as on-campus jobs, clubs, and even co-ops. UofT also has a variety of teachers from all over the world, some of which who are the most experienced and the best in their field in terms of knowledge and experience. In addition, knowing that UofT is ranked 25 in the world was capitative. I feel that UofT provides its students with opportunities not only in academics and careers through Co-ops but also in all kinds of sports, while also giving us a chance to be a part of Varsity Blues. Additionally, UofT also ensures involvement on and off campus by promoting different cultural, academic, and career-oriented clubs alongside Co-ops and on-campus jobs (the opportunity to experience different industries). My experience so far at the University of Toronto has surely been delightful and enigmatic only due to the different experiences I've had. The competitiveness of my university has allowed me to understand and push myself from what I thought I could achieve and try to undertake more challenges in order to try to overcome them and succeed. UofT helped me explore the different industries I could possibly be a part of, helped me become familiar with the culture and people abroad, as well as help me become independent and ensure I do all my work myself and manage multiple tasks with no one's help right from doing my laundry to managing my studies and being productive. I have learned how to adapt to different situations, become a risk-taker, and communicate with different people, organizations, and faculty members. So far, this has truly been an experience that I will cherish for the rest of my life.

- The people were nice and helpful made lots of friends .
It was quick and simple, and my advisor was very helpful with the process. She helped me fill out all of the correct forms and helped me apply for financial aid. Went over the best route for the course in my field of study.
CV + supplementary about experiences and challenges. I wrote about extracurriculars with 420 in volunteer hours Awesome alumni network + high ambitious people. I also know uoft is one of worlds best in reasearch A awesome place with tons of the most ambitious young people in the world. The addition of like-minded people + the research heavy emphasis on work we do, make it the best uni to study especially if you love deep rooted research.

The 5 main value propositions of the university are the following: 1)The diploma (i.e. the “I went to class certificate”) 2)The network of students/professors/alumni you build 3)Social prestige 4)Credibility amongst employers 5)Exposure to research: Ultimately U of T is a top research school, so if this appeals to you then go for it. Research placements are definitely cool, but they aren’t worth killing yourself over.
Likes:

- The placements were best and worth to actual fees .
Dislikes:

The admission was easy and was completed through my consultancy and it was very easy for me to prepare for the visa interview through my consultancy. My consultancy was Kanan which helped me with admission and visa interviews.
Likes:
- The first thing I liked was the library and the overall campus was really good. The infrastructure and classes were really amazing. null
- I also liked the faculty and there way of teaching and giving equal time and importance to every student. null
- The campus was very huge and the cleanliness was really good. null
Dislikes:
- I disliked the area of the campus, like we have to walk more from one class to other building for practicals. null
- Also there are no garden available in the campus. null
I have been using this website for the past few days and it really helped me with the good college's course and also it helped me with the complete information about the course and about the college. It also saved my time and provided me with accurate information. It also makes the admission process easy for me, the guidance through the consultant makes the process hassle-free for me.
Likes:
- Ranks number 1 in Canada. Had great alumni network and has good reputation in North America. null
- The depth and breadth of experience received in MBA class with diversified students. The Rotman school gives the experience to build network and grow your career in different domains of interest. The wheel is in the students hand to navigate their career as they wish. null
Dislikes:
- Sometimes too much focus on academic grades than practical experiences. Also, students get sometimes too much focus on just Consulting and Finance, which inhibits them to explore different areas. School can ensure students that career can grow in different areas by showing them more real life experiences. null
It is good for the people who want to excel in their career. School gives the opportunity to change the domain experience as required.
Likes:
- Different students come for different aspirations, for me : PR related reasons and low fees. null
- The university offered a variety of courses and strong curriculum which helped shape one's feel for analytics as a career option. The diversity of students that come in the cohort helps one understand perspectives across. null
Dislikes:
- The most pressing concern especially for students coming from Asian countries like India, China etc. is the job market. Very frankly, the total number of companies and job openings anytime round the year are less than Bangalore or Gurugram alone. null
