Toronto Mets focuses on supporting students’ well-being, education and careers, distinguishing them from others. They make the effort to reach out to students themselves, presenting valuable opportunities and experiences to students which aids them in stepping out of their comfort zone, allowing them to grow as individuals. Toronto Met’s diverse environment and push for inclusion add value to student lives. Overall, the university’s efforts to ensure everyone is having a good time adds to the university experience for students, providing everyone with the opportunity to have a good time.

What i love about my classes is that its hands on and really fun to do. We get to cook/bake and learn in person with all the activities. my professors are really nice and understanding, they teach really well ad overall I’ve learnt a lot from them. I also love my university in general, people are really nice and there people from all around the word which is also great!

Overall, I felt my program lacked the diversity when it comes to learning about science. There is a large emphasis on research based science and not enough clinical based education. If you’re looking to learn and receive more hands on work such as working and understanding patient care, this program isn’t for you.

Some of the core nutrition courses are very useful. Especially the mandatory courses for dietetics (if you want to become a registered dietitian). The skills you learn in these core courses are transferable and can be applied to future jobs related to food and nutrition. However, some of the content in some courses do overlap and it can feel repetitive. Since it is such a small program, it is hard to take the same course with a different professor as the classes are very limited. Some of the core courses only run once a year (either Fall, Winter, or Spring/Summer) so if you fail a course you would have to wait an entire year before you can retake it. Some of the courses with lab components were very fun but some may have mixed feelings about labs. As you need to pass both the lab component and lecture component separately in order to pass courses like biochemistry and food management.

In terms of student life, if you don’t live on campus or live in Toronto, student life is pretty much non-existent. The majority of students at Ryerson are commuters who live outside of Toronto and it may hard to find a sense of community if you aren’t actively involved in clubs or events. The location of the campus can be considered both bad and good. There is always something you can do after school as it is situated in the heart of Toronto. However, safety is a concern as there are many notifications of security incidents that occur on campus (such as criminal harassment, assault, and robbery). The school can definitely improve in terms of campus safety and tightening security measures.

In terms of career prospects, there are many industries that nutrition and food graduate students can branch out into. After graduation, you can choose to pursue a master’s program or the PMDip program to become a registered dietitian in the future. Those that choose not to become registered dietitians, can still work in health care, food service, government agencies, marketing, product development, food safety, etc.

The labs were great, with very fun interactive materials, the lab instructor was very involved in the labs and was enthusiastic about her material. The lab instructor was very knowledgeable and very approachable. Overall the labs were a great way to apply theoretical knowledge in a physical setting, the tools that I have gained during this program continue to be applied to my everyday life and into my future profession.
