BSc (Hons) in Biology for Health Sciences/ Master of Teaching - Batch of 2028

The university is great although highly competitive and academic.

Tips: It is a world-class institution, but it is highly competitive. You will have to study a lot to survive. A transition from high school is natural. I am here on a 50% scholarship. You can apply for it. Overall, I am very satisfied with the University of Toronto.

Likes (Safety): I rated the University of Toronto high on safety because I felt safe on campus and in the surrounding areas. I never saw any shootings, and campus police are available at all hours. The university also provides multiple emergency contacts for students. The only potential risk I saw was from homeless people at night, but even then I felt safe.

Dislikes (Part time work): I rated the University of Toronto low on part-time work because campus and off-campus jobs are easily available. However, the university is highly competitive, and most students don't have time for part-time work. Some jobs are even available remotely, such as being a PA or TA, which can pay up to 500 CAD per week or 2000-2400 CAD per month.

BSc Hons in Psychology - Batch of 2023

University of Toronto (Scarborough) - smaller campus, better exposure, better opportunities.

Tips: Getting out of your comfort zone is essential at the beginning of your studies at the University of Toronto. You will need to adapt to the weather and the people, and there will be a cultural shift because there are people from all around the world. Do not shut any experience off. Make connections with faculty members because they will nominate you for scholarships and awards. Overall, since this is a smaller campus, the exposure is great, and the opportunities are tremendous. Build connections and network well. This is the only campus that offers co-ops, so join a co-op programme and get experience while you are studying.

Likes (Student Life): Since I'm on the smaller campus, you get to know everyone. I participated in extracurricular and joined multiple clubs, gaining experience and friendships. It is easy to start with the mentorship programs and then work with a senior mentor to guide you through academic, social and extracurricular on campus.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): You don't need visa sponsorship from your job because you qualify for an open work permit. With psychology, it was easier to get into mental health than psychology but since that was not my area of interest, I added a minor - Statistics and Food Studies. Statistics helped me realize that I want to be a data analyst. It was easier to find jobs in this field.

MS in Applied Computing in Computer Science - Batch of 2023

Offered by University of Toronto

3.1

It is a good university.

Tips: It's a good university but if you are more research-oriented then go for US universities. The weather is not great in Canada. If you are person who loves sunlight or going out then say goodbye to both of them. The campus is scattered and in the middle of the city.

Likes (Permanent Immigration): Good chance of getting a PR if you have enough points. You also get a Post Graduation Work Permit once you graduate. It is an open work permit and the duration depends on the length of the programme.

Dislikes (Value for money): It's okay but not a great programme. They charge too much for the courses they are offering. It is good that there is an internship at the end of the programme otherwise it would have taken a lot of time to repay the loan.

MSc Applied Computing in Artificial Intelligence - Batch of 2022

Offered by University of Toronto

4.3

Good campus, great internship support from the college and a great city.

Tips: Canada is very welcoming. I did not experience a cultural shift because I have lived abroad before. I did apply for a scholarship but unfortunately could not get the scholarship but I know many people who got one. The course is good for quickly getting Canadian working experience. It is however not the best course if you want a classroom experience because you only take 4-5 classes a week.

Bachelor of Applied Science in Computer Engineering - Batch of 2027

Offered by University of Toronto

3.9

Great, academically oriented university to study from but expensive.

Tips: In the beginning, you would feel a big cultural shock as the place and its education are quite different from that in India. But, you would find many people from India and all around the world who are willing to talk, know about you and share their experiences. However, once the years progress you will feel a sense of competition which is a good thing, as everyone becomes more aware and concerned about their future. Also, the university provides us opportunities to experience and learn about several different fields and sub-fields of study in the giant universe of ECE, where each sub-field could have a different career path. The university also has resources like ECC and others to help you prepare for the jobs, but securing a job is quite difficult in my field of study, especially at this economic phase. Regarding the scholarships, I didn't receive any and many of my international friends didn't either. Most scholarships require you to be a Canadian citizen or PR but there are exceptions and few international students do get the scholarships. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my university, course and country.

Likes (Quality of faculty): I think the faculty is quite easy to access and approach and is highly knowledgeable in their concepts and field of study. There is more focus on hands-on learning through practicals than most other colleges though the weightage of it towards the overall course grade is usually few, they prefer to put more weightage towards written exams. In terms of diversity, you would find teaching faculty coming from all around the globe, China, Egypt, India, Pakistan, Switzerland, and so many others.

Dislikes (Part time work): I think it is easy to find a part-time job in this area but doing a part-time job while studying is quite difficult for an undergrad ECE student at UofT. Most technical courses are workload-heavy with several lengthy assignments which spare little to no free time. Maybe for Masters, the picture would be different.
