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.

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.

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.

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.

Hardworking and friendly folks
Tips: UofT provides you with tremendous opportunity to boost your career. Alumni are friendly. You can participate in a plethora of activities with students from other departments. There are not many scholarships available at Master's level but a lot for Ph.D.
Likes (Student Life): UofT campus is always buzzing with activities and events. It is easy to find a peer group and have some fun while learning new skills. During orientation you will get an opportunity to enroll in a vast array of clubs. There is always free food at some or the other event on the campus where you can make friends.
Dislikes (Part time work): All upcoming students get an option to apply for Teaching Assistantship roles. Moreover, students can connect with faculty members for Research Assistantship roles. Alumni is very friendly, you can reach out to them for part time roles in the industry.

Tough journey but worth paying
Tips: Cultural shift is there after moving to this country. I was offered a full scholarship in MASc programme.
Courses are of high quality. Sometimes, it's very stressful for students from tier 2 or tier 3 Indian universities. But less job opportunities as compared to US. PR immigration is easy here.

Diverse campus with lots to learn.
Tips: One good thing about UOFT is that it is very diverse and people always accept and respect others. You don't have to change yourself to fit in. I am a permanent resident. I didn't apply for scholarships.
Work is stressful. But overall social life is fun.
Likes (Indian Food): Lots of Indian food is available. Restaurants are very good. Pricing depends on the ambience. I have a meal plan with the university, so I don't cook. I live in downtown, so you get everything here. Indian restaurants have similar food to India, and there is one located in every locality.
Dislikes (Safety): This is the main campus located in downtown, Toronto. The other two are subsidiaries. - downtown is often surrounded by homeless people, often drug addicts. It gets sketchy during the night. My recommendation is to always travel in groups, especially during the night.

Academic fountain of deep learning in the world
Tips: The university is known for its academic standards therefore the quality of courses is good and so are the marking criteria of the professors who teach the courses. The expectation from Masters students is to work on par with Ph.D. scholars and perform better since this degree usually prepares you for pursuing a Ph.D. degree in future.
Likes (Indian Food): Toronto is a vibrant city with cosmopolitan culture and food of every kind is available in the city and also this university. I as an Indian and a hard-core vegetarian. I was able to enjoy the street food and also there are many Indian veg cuisine restaurants present as well. I never found it difficult to find food.
Dislikes (Student Life): Everyone is engaged in their own activities due to course loads with less activities which students can indulge in together.

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.

University of Toronto is the place to be!
Tips: Whatever you do, try to excel in that. Also focus on your fundamentals Science classes like Math and Physics as it helps in more ways than one, even though I'm in CS. People here come from various backgrounds and the admissions committee views applications holistically. They value the amount of effort you've put into whatever your domain is and can find ways of transferring your skillset to match you with what you could potentially be great at.

My journey at the prominent University of Toronto.
Tips: Uoft is the most prestigious university in Canada. Canadians really give you the awe moment when they know you're studying at this university. Some of the courses are of top-notch particularly Data Science courses. Others are okay. You would know how to survive in the industry. Top companies came to the universities to offer internships and projects. That's pretty much everything. The only con is that the fees is much higher than any other university in Canada. I do not feel any cultural shift personally. But one must be ready to accept ideologies. So, it depends on the person. In my course, there isn't any but MASc. and Ph.D. offered few scholarships to students. Overall, I am satisfied with my university and course.

Live every moment and work hard for your academics, at University of Toronto.
Tips: Cultural shift sure, but not that much. In my programme and in the city too I find enough Indians that I feel at home. There are some shifts but in a good way. Like people are quite honest and rule following here than what we SEE in India. They have a vector scholarship, but it can be hard to get. Like only 120 students in my batch got it that too across 5 different universities. From my programme probably only 4 to 6 people got the scholarship. Courses are great, there is a high focus on practical applications. The courses are mainly project oriented so students get good hands on experience. Placement in my is industry focused. So like nearly everyone gets an internship.
Dislikes (Internships): Although university doesn't an internship, they will help you 100% to get one. And the best part is the salary from the internship can pay a large portion of your tuition fee. Adding to if you can get the TAship and the vector scholarship you can take off the money loads significantly.

Best university in the country and top level education system.
Tips: When I moved to another country, things changed a lot. People, customs, and everything were different from what I knew. It was interesting to learn about this new culture, even though it was sometimes difficult. Eventually, I got used to how things were done there and began to enjoy the special traditions, food, and celebrations. It was a big chance, but it made me see the world in a whole new way and gave me lots of new experiences.
Likes (Public transportation): Using public transportation here has been quite good. It connects well with the rest of the city, and it's not too expensive. The weather is nice too. But if you plan to work in the long term, you might find it handy to have your own vehicle, like a car.
Dislikes (Indian Food): In Canada, especially in Toronto, homemade Indian food can be expensive. That's why I often choose traditional or local fast food options. I suggest buying groceries and cooking your own meals to get what you want. It can be a fun very cheap way to enjoy your favourite dishes.

University has a great reputation.
Tips: You have a major cultural shift once you interact with diverse groups of people. I did not avail of any scholarships, but the option to work on campus provides a lot of opportunities to earn money, and hence, expenses are not that huge of an issue. University has a great reputation, and it is essential to take a multi-faceted approach. Try learning as much as you can and focus on utilizing the resources you can get. Don't just study and try getting a job - explore all the options.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): Immigration is almost guaranteed in Canada, given you don't do something illegal. Furthermore, there are Master stream programs in Ontario, which boost your chances of getting a permanent residency in Canada. Furthermore, you can also go to other provinces where immigration is easy.
Dislikes (Internships): Direct internship is not an option in my course. We need to find it on our own. Furthermore, having a part-time work status does not help, as most of the internship options are left out. Overall, university policies and government regulations make getting an internship very tough.

Satisfied with The University of Toronto.
Tips: I would say that exams are quite tough and the competition rate is quite high as well as many foreign students opt for this university. You can feel a slight transition in correspondence between culture and society, especially if you are from India. I don't have any idea regarding scholarships as I haven't opted for any. But, I am very much satisfied with my university and this engineering course as well.
Likes (Student Life): College life at The University of Toronto is quite competitive as well as fun. There are enormous facilities provided here on the campus and so many events especially cultural ones are organized in each particular month. The teachers are very promising and extremely talented as many of them are consultants at multiple top companies and some of them also own start-ups. Overall, my experience over here is quite good.

An enticing experience of a current student at the University of Toronto.
Tips: So, before joining this university, I think students should know that there will surely be a cultural shift, especially for Asian students. Well in context of indiIndiach is prominently known for its cultural heritage. Although, there are other enticing factors such as scholarships and incredible faculty members who made us highly dependent on our ability and desire to make the best out of any situation. As I am a current student at this university, hence I am completely satisfied with this cultural and academic shift.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty over here is highly qualified and extremely supportive. Their teaching methods or technique are on point and quite modern as well. Although there are also faculty members of Indian origin as well and also from other parts of the global region. They are very helpful and tend to foster an enchanting tie-up with students as well.
Dislikes (Permanent Immigration): It involves a lot of authorization process, so it is very hectic as we need to go through loads of rules and regulations. Hence, I rated 3 only. Although, it's quite meaningful and smooth to get a Work Permit visa and have a correspondence residence over here.

Tips: It is very academically challenging. It's not fun and games and every weekend partying like other universities. Only join if you can study 24/7 and don't get burnt out or depressed easily. Overall, it offers the best quality education in Canada.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): Canada is a super welcoming immigrant country. As it has a labour shortage so after graduation it is not difficult to find a job and convert the student visa into a work visa then finally get permanent residency and citizenship hopefully. A lot of Indians are here.
Dislikes (Student Life): It is very academically challenging and it is tough to strike the right balance between academic life and social life. There are several academic and work events but less fun and games. Clubs are also mostly academically oriented. No time for extracurriculars.

Amazing university for Masters
Tips: For me, transition to this new place was not that tough and no cultural shift was experienced. I didn't avail of any scholarship. And things that one should know before coming to a University are that the academics is rigorous, research opportunities are there, campus diversity, strong alumni network. And lastly about the city, the living cost is very high. I am fully satisfied with the university, its course and country is awesome.
Likes (Part time work): There are many kind of part time jobs available for students i.e. students can work in library, administrative office, can work under a professor as assistant for research or for teaching, students can also work in dinning hall as cashier, helper, chief, serve. I did part time jobs like teaching assistant, and student administrative assistant and payout was also good. Part time job are well manageable and there is much time for academics. The average payout is around 18$ - 20 $.
Dislikes (Quality of faculty): Faculty members are accessible in many ways like students can have discussions after and before lectures with faculty, students can visit professors in their office hours and some professors are renowned for having an open door policy, students can also approach through mail. Teaching methods of faculty include group project based learning, practical workshops, learning through case studies and there is also guest lecture from industry professionals. In the university, there are faculty members from different cultures, nationalities and different engineering backgrounds.

Tips: Students should know about fee structure, campus environment, and accommodation. Library fees university scholarship also must know Hart House at UofT St. george campus has a giant antique table for students to eat and is very reminiscent of the scene from Harry Potter where all students have their dinner.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Good student life because University campus environment is very good and all facilities are available like own home. It has a wealth of history and offers many opportunities for students to explore their interests and passions. The campus is well-maintained, the professors are top notch, the resources are plentiful, and there's always something new happening on campus.
Dislikes (Public transportation): Faculty is very competitive and helpful. University of Toronto will give you a very challenging experience. It is very tough for some students. Mostly Asians go to UofT and they give tough competition to their peers. Also, professors are not very generous in giving out marks. Students from UofT take courses at different universities just to boost their GPA
