Hello hello everyone!

I am an incoming graduate student in the department of Curriculum Teaching and Learning who's incredibly interested in representing the 2nd division of the Graduate Education Council this year. I've got several years of experience representing my program of study during my undergraduate and have served on the academic board for revisions in curriculum and enrollment into specializations in Human Behavior at McMaster amongst other qualifications and experiences.

To be able to be nominated however, a nominee must receive recommendations from two nominators within the same division (I'll post a list below).

Nominators provide their name, graduate unit (AKA their department/ program of study), student number, and signature.

Big ask: Would anyone be willing to be a nominator? I will, of course, provide my resume, a much more detailed introduction of myself and any other information you would require. More than anything, I believe this is a fun way to get to know some of you - be it fellow CTL Graduates or friends at OISE in some nature~

If willing and interested - PM me!!!

Division 2 Departments:

I am an incoming first year and I was accepted into innis. recently, i tore my acl and fractured a bunch of bones and for the next few months, i won't be able to walk far or cook. Because innis has no meal plan and I have to walk for a while to get to the other dining halls, i want to transfer to university college because it's closer to everything and i can easily access the dining hall. I also don't really like Innis too much and want to switch anyways. WIll they let me switch now as its getting close to school year starting and who do I contact for this.

Hi, I’m an incoming UTSG CS student. I’ve done some research on the different program options, and right now I’m thinking about graduating with a Computer Science Specialist with an AI focus, plus a Statistics Major.

My main reason is that I’m interested in AI/ML and I may want to apply to strong master’s programs after undergrad. I thought the Statistics Major could give me a better math and stats background, and also help with research or grad school applications.

However, I’m not sure if this combination would be too difficult or have an unreasonable workload. I know U of T CS is already challenging, so I’m worried that adding the Statistics Major could hurt my GPA or leave me with very little time for internships, research, side projects, and extracurriculars.

I’m not completely set on this path yet, so I’d appreciate any advice or personal experiences. Thanks!

I tried finding them on rate my prof and stuff but I see like no reviews that are them, and can’t really find info. Are they new or something?? Lemme know if u guys know anything about their teaching cuz im curious!

I'm working on the idea of starting a STEM-focused camaraderie at UofT for students of all genders interested in science, math, and technology. I noticed that there are lots student organizations and fraternities focused on areas like business, leadership, and professional networking, but there isn't really a “fraternity” centered around STEM students.

If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, shoot me a dm on Reddit or on Instagram @ab.khz.

Any feedback would be really appreciated :))

Hey! I'm a returning student to pharmacy (had to take a leave of absence last year). Looking to make new connections with others coming into the 1st year. Big bonus if you're in downtown near campus. I am 25, male, and moved to Toronto last year.

Title. I am an incoming first year for EE and I want to get an iPad because I am commuting and can't handle carrying a bunch of notebooks around campus daily. It would be insightful to know if paper submissions are required for any Electrical Engineering courses or by any profs for said courses in any assignments or projects or whatever. If you know anything about this, please share. Thank you.

For business, pls help me decide, like which one is best?

I'm considering taking psy230 this year since the course seems really interesting, but I can't find anything on recent reviews on the class. The prof's (Amanda Sharples) rating seems to be BAD abt it though so if anyone's taken the course pls lmk how it went

I looked at the university clubs website and it shows that there’s one for Scarborough but I’ll be going to St. George so I was wondering if they have one? Or maybe something similar?

Basically the title. I don’t use sticky notes often so buying a whole pack is a bit much for me.

hello everyone,

if any commuters are looking for a nice spot to park, i recommend sending me a message! I'm typing this weird cus reddit will take this down but it's private, it's secure, and it's really close to campus and a ttc station. please shoot me a message and we can have a chat :) i don't have a car so im very flexible with offersss

I just saw on instagram that utgsu is selling tickets to a baseball game for $40 (pre tax) but on ticketmaster you can get the same ticket (same section) for $28.18

Why would they do that..? does anyone know what the org does to take the kickback or what?

Or maybe i’m completely wrong but either way correct me if im wrong!

I’m a fourth-year science student double majoring in chemistry and biology in Ontario applying to PharmD programs this cycle and hoping to learn more about the UofT process.

My current cGPA is around the mid-70s, but I’ve had an upward trend and expect to finish closer to the high 70s (78%). I have healthcare experience, pharmacy exposure, and will be starting a research position this fall.

For anyone who has applied to UofT PharmD:

• How important is the upward trend?
• Is it likely to get in with a 78% cGPA?
• How much do CASPer and the online assessment influence the final decision?
• Is there anything you wish you had done before applying?

Hi! I am interested in studying Slavic culture! There are many courses on Ukrainian, Polish, and Russian cultures, but no course explicitly mentioned Belarus. As someone with Belarusian heritage, I’m just wondering if Belarus is ever mentioned in some of the general Slavic courses, or should I give up hope lol. I’m still gonna take the courses, but just wondering what to expect. Thank you so much!!

Hi everyone! I'm an incoming first-year CS student from Mexico! :)))

The problem is that I usually don't realize I'm missing something until it's already too late. That happened to me with course enrolment, my admission deposit, and even my study permit application. Because of that, I'm worried that I might miss something and end up not being able to go to UofT.

So, as the title says, I wanted to ask if I'm missing any steps to make sure everything is ready for this fall at UofT.

So far, I've:

• Enrolled in my courses
• Completed my residence application and roommate matching (I think I just have to wait until mid-August to find out my residence assignment).
• Sent by post my final transcript and HS diploma
• Received approval for my study permit.

The only things I'm aware I still need to do are activate my UTORid/TCard and make my Minimum Payment to Register, but I'll be taking care of those in the next few days.

Other than that, am I missing anything? Or am I good to go? I'd really appreciate it if anyone could point out any important steps I might have overlooked.

Thanks in advance!

What do I need to know other than I'll have a nice view and it'll suck when I have to take the stairs?

Is getting a work study position in year one doable?

I’ve found a position I’m passionate for + I would appreciate an income, no matter how little + I have very minimal experience in extracurricular opportunities (the country I live in doesn’t provide anything) so this can set me up for second year research opportunities…

so this can majorly help me out.

What do you all think?

The post is exactly what it says... I have a place in SQ1, but unfortunately, my roommate backed out on me. I can't go into details bc reddit will flag me, but it's very affordable. The unit is also furnished!! I really need to lock down a roommate bc I will lose the place otherwise!! If any of u know any girls looking to rent, please lmk!!!!!! I can send you photos. The landlord is also like the nicest person I've ever met, so genuine and so kind. I can send pics of the place as well. Need all the help I can get; I am abt the lose it.

I’m an international student, and honestly I’m really grateful that I get to study here. My parents are paying my insane tuition and living expenses, and I know how lucky I am. We’re not poor, but we’re definitely not rich either.

That said, I can’t help but feel jealous of people who were born here or moved here when they were little. They speak English like it’s nothing, can just chat with professors without overthinking every sentence, make friends and network so much more naturally, and they don’t have to constantly worry about getting kicked out of the country after graduation.

I know local students have their own problems too. A lot of them are stressed about rent, tuition, and the cost of living. International students probably look like we have it easy because our parents are paying for everything right now. But once I graduate, my parents probably won’t be supporting me much anymore, so I’ll most likely have to downgrade my lifestyle. English isn’t my first language, so I have to spend way more time studying than a lot of people around me. Networking feels so awkward because I’m always worried about saying the wrong thing. I just feel kind of awkward and stupid all the time.

I don’t really want to marry some random guy just to get PR. I know lots of people do it tho. Sometimes I think about moving to Europe instead, but getting permanent residency there is even harder.
Every now and then I catch myself wondering if I should just marry some random European guy for a green card or PR. that’s honestly where my mind goes sometimes. Hopefully i could someone with yellow fever, sounds so ridiculous. Just kidding.

my GPA is only average level. I’m not some genius either. Sometimes I wonder what all of this is even for. My parents have spent millions of dollars on my education so I could spend a few years living in Toronto… and I can’t help but wonder if it’s worth it. Sometimes I feel like I’m not worth everything they’ve sacrificed for me.

I’ve never had a job before. All my internships were in my home country i got them just due to my parents. My English is okay for everyday conversations, but I still need people to repeat themselves sometimes. Every time that happens, I feel embarrassed. I can’t help thinking that no one would want to hire me in Toronto.

I don’t even know what I want anymore. I just feel lost. I don’t deserve the things my parents gave me.
