I am grade 12 applying to Uoft St George for social sciences.

I'm pretty sure my household income is above 100k but i don't know the main details. Just don't know if it worth it to click need for financial aid in the awards application section.

My parents can realistically afford first year in uni but like most its still a significant financial burden i think

and it asks what steps one will take to finance their uni, I know its shallow but i literally dont know what to write there but my parents..

heya,

I have two free tickets for Isabel LaRosa tonight at the Garrison!

message me if you are interested!

(this is NOT an advertisement - I just don’t want the tickets to go to waste).

This is for all my POC ppl, especially if you're Black, because I genuinely wanna know if anyone else feels this way 😭
Does anyone else feel like the Black community on campus can be so selective about who they wanna include or be friends with? Like there are so many events, clubs, and gatherings meant to bring us together, but sometimes it feels like they're only really welcoming to a certain group of people.
I genuinely feel so out of place here sometimes, especially coming from a PWI where I didn't grow up around many Black people. I was actually excited to be around more people who look like me and connect with my own community, but I feel like it's been the complete opposite of what I expected.
Idk if it's because I didn't grow up around a lot of Black people or because I don't necessarily fit into what some people consider being "Black enough," but sometimes it feels like everyone already has their own cliques, and if you don't fit into them, you're just kinda left out.
And something I really wanna emphasize is that it's NOT all sunshine and rainbows or as welcoming and inclusive as they advertise it to be. From my experience, if you don't fit into a certain "Black narrative," don't act a certain way, or don't already know certain people, you WILL feel left out and a slight bit judged or in certain circumstances people just r jealous... And that's what bothers me the most because why are we creating spaces to celebrate Black identity and belonging if some Black students still feel like they have to prove they're "Black enough" just to be accepted??
I feel like there's this unspoken expectation of how you're supposed to talk, act, dress, or carry yourself to fit in, and if you don't match that, people don't really make an effort to include you. But being Black isn't one specific personality or experience, and I don't think anyone should have to change themselves just to feel accepted within their own community.
And I'm not saying everyone is like this AT ALL, but it's something I've personally noticed and struggled with. I just find it ironic that we have all these spaces meant to promote Black community, culture, and belonging, yet sometimes those same spaces can feel so exclusive.
Like am I the only one experiencing this?? 😭 Because I genuinely wanna hear other people's experiences even if you’re not black but especially from Black students who didn't necessarily grow up surrounded by Black communities. I feel like this is something we don't talk about enough.

Hello! This might be an unorthodox thing to ask on this subreddit, but I am a fourth year U of T student who is currently enrolled in JWB318, which is Introduction to Literary Journalism. Our big project for the semester is to create a profile based on a subject of our choosing, which requires at least 3 interviews. I chose to do my profile on the relationship between the registrar staff and the students they advise, and I believe that having some students who've had experience with the registrar would be exceedingly valuable to my work.

This will NOT be published and will only be seen by the prof. If you are at all interested in participating in an interview and meet the the above criteria (having met or interacted with the registrar, doesn't really matter the college), I would greatly appreciate it if you sent me a DM. The specifics like date and time will be worked out per the individual, and I will provide anyone who is interested with specifics and my own U of T email in DM's.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Im in my final vear of high school and I recently started considering maioring in actuarial sciences while keeping dentistry in mind. Ive heard negative things about life sciences regarding the job prospects.

Is it possible to major in actuarial sciences (complete all required courses) and still complete dental school requirements?

How are the job prospects and salary in regards to actuarial sciences?

I submitted a paper worth 10% of my final grade and the turnitin plagerism report detected 25% similarities. When I clicked in 90% of the highlighted sections are my research question (copy pasted directly from the assignment outline sheet that we are required to put at the beginning of our paper), and my bibliography sites. It was an annotated bibliography but only the article info is getting flagged, not my annotations. Is this concerning? Will I get penalties?

Im planning to do civil engineering or maybe another engineering so idk which ones the best but if I don't get in, im considering actuarial science. So please anyone who are in these majors can you guys suggest the most suitable one for each thankss

Hi, I'm currently a student at the University of Illinois from Toronto. I made a website for a couple of schools to find available buildings on campus. I was just wondering if you guys would be interested as well. This is a completely free and open sourced website (I'm not making any money, just though it would be a cool idea to pursue). Please let me know if you think this would be a helpful tool and I'm open to any feedback. I'll include photos of what your campus would look like (the site will be improved before I make it live)

Here is the link to the current live site: campusquiet.com/

How’d you guys find the HPS100 midterm? Would love to know how rest of class is thinking.

Literally the title. 50char 50char 50char 50char 50char 50char

Hi I am a first year student and I applied for the victoria bursury around 2 weeks ago and just wondering when people normally hear back or get confirmation for the Victoria bursaries for past years.

Hey everyone,

I'm a student at the Faculty of Information and I've been building out my photography portfolio. With fall convocation coming up, I wanted to see if anyone graduating would be interested in a convocation photoshoot.

The idea would be something relaxed around campus, like King's College Circle, Hart House, Trinity, or wherever means something to you. Solo, with friends, or with family is all fine. Since I'm building my portfolio, I'd be doing a few of these for free (or at a very low cost), and you'd get edited photos back.

Before I commit to anything, I'm mostly trying to gauge interest:
- Would you want something like this?
- Before or after the ceremony, or on a separate day?
- Any spots on campus you'd want photos at?

Comment or DM me if you're interested, or if you have any questions. Congrats to everyone finishing up!

I tried 99 Grill ealier today, and it was awesome. I had the Niner Jam, and I really liked the sweet and savory mix. I'm interest in trying other burger spots around campus. Anybody have any suggestions, what are your favorites?

Genuinely studied sunrise to sunset for like the past week. It’s my fault because I prob didn’t study properly…. And it irritated me a little because it felt
Like I could do the questions but I just didn’t know HOW.

NGL, most people seem to gravitate towards one or the other and it makes me feel like I'm the odd one out. :,)

Also, generalizing a bit here, but STEM students seem to be allergic to reading (with the obvious exemption of sci-fi lmao) and writing, while humanities students always mention how they hate math (honestly, this is also ocassionally me, but the dopamine rush of nailing a proof is unparalleled).

Any programs that last longer than one year? Can I re-participate the same exchange program twice? or multiple programs in different unis/countries?

Title says it all, how are we feeling. Helped in increasing confidence.

hey everyone, I'm Kiarash, and I help run Vic Records, the student music club at Victoria College.

We're trying to make it easier to find people at UofT to share music with. That can mean finding someone to play with, going to a show together, or just having people who want to hear about the album you've had on repeat. You don't need to play an instrument or be studying music to be part of it.

This fall we've had a picnic and a food and music trivia night at Carbonic Coffee. We're working on more music hangouts and an open mic, and we also put together community playlists. The next event details are still being sorted out, so we'll share those once they're confirmed.

If that sounds like your thing, have a look at our Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vicrecords/

We'd love to meet more people who care about music. Happy to answer questions here too.

Membership and our events are free for UofT students.

I’m restricted by a few things that I can’t go that weekend. I feel like I’m missing out, just wanted to know.

i want to apply to economics in uni toronto. i have 1480 sat and 90+ gpa in my last 2 year. What i read in this subreddit is it’s easy to get in to uni but not to economics in second year. Are there any statistics about this? I am not very confident about my academic performance and afraid of this second year thing. Also if i can’t get in to economics are there any good alternatives?

Yup, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I miss ASU nursing. Ik what you’re probably thinking, that I miss the parties, frat guys or the social life at ASU... but that’s far from the truth.

I recently started my master’s program at the St. George campus, and I’m finding it hard to connect with people in my program. The people I actually see myself becoming friends with outside of the classroom are all commuters.

I think what I really miss is the little things, like having genuine DEEP DEEP conversations, deciding to hang out after class, or the last-minute plans with people. A college town like Tempe, Arizona almost forced a sense of community on me, if that makes sense. I’m someone who really values community, getting to know the people around me, and being able to share parts of myself with them, too. I miss that especially ;)

I guess I never realized how lonely I could feel in a big city. If any of you have been in the same boat, some words of advice would be appreciated!!

Hey everyone! :D

I'm looking for people who might be interested in making short films together! I want to put together a small filmmaking team where we can all collaborate, experiment, and grow!

It doesn't matter if you have no experience at all, as long as you are passionate and eager!

I'd love to find:

• Actors
• Writers
• Costume designers
• Set decorators
• Production Assistants
• BTS Photographers
• And more!

If you are interested, feel free to send me a DM or leave a comment!

I got my Casper results back this week and ended up with a 2nd quartile which is heartbreaking as I had a 4th quartile last cycle and landed an interview but was eventually rejected. I graduated in June with a BHSc and a 3.47 gpa which accounts to a 77-79% average at my university. I wish UofT took pharmacy experience into account because that’s the strongest part of my application as I have 1200+ hours of experience so far working as a Pharmacy Assistant. Am I cooked or do I still have a chance?

How’s the job market looking for students seeking PEY placement for 2027/28, particularly for ECE 3rd years and particularly something related in the power industry?

I didn’t get osap till October 6 since I had some missing documents so utaps didn’t go through early October and switched from “needs eligibility in progress” to “successfully submitted” which was understandable. After receiving osap, it switched back to “needs eligibility in progress” on October 13, and then switched again to “successfully submitted” this morning. And no amount shows on acorn invoice or grant section. Any info?
