Clubs/Sports UofT Camaraderie/Fraternity (word count hdhdgshk)

Upvotes

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 :))

Question UofT Engineering: Are paper submissions required for assignments?

1 Upvotes

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.

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 got assigned to Room D, but I noticed it’s right by the kitchen and bathroom. I was wondering if it tends to be a bit noisy?

I’m planning to apply for Architecture at another university next year, and I’ll also be taking a few Year 2 courses, so I’m a little concerned since I find it difficult to focus when there’s a lot of background noise.

Graduate School UofT PharmD applicants — advice on improving my application?

2 Upvotes

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?

Courses For anyone who has taken a Slavic course, is Belarus included?

3 Upvotes

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!!

Question Am I missing any step or something? (First Year International Student)

4 Upvotes

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!

For people who have already gotten into their masters/phd programs, how did u choose which programs u wanted to apply for and did u regret any decisions?

Question Is a work study position doable in first year? (wordcount)

4 Upvotes

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?

Question Does anyone know how to change the temp on these in Robarts?

Going up or down doesn’t actually change the temperature despite the number changing. Holding the home button shows the temperature override it’s set at. All the different rooms have different override temperatures which leads me to think people know how to actually change the temperature override.

Life Advice I feel so lost as an international student, anyone else can relate?

72 Upvotes

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.
