Toronto Metropolitan University Speciality : History
programme: History

Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson) is a very interpersonal university and does it’s best to provide students with the necessary tools they need to succeed. This can range from writing centres for editing and for non-native speakers, to mental health awareness events and free access to platforms like Headspace (a mindfulness app). Of course, TMU is a university with a low budget, and this can be frustrating when trying to access things like the library, which is not as established as the other universities in Toronto. However, I found that the community at TMU thrives on the fact that it is a small community. I found that this was much more helpful to me as professors and advisors had more time to engage with us and provide us with extra help. As a teaching assistant at TMU currently, I can confirm that the small environment greatly aids in helping students better and getting to know them and their needs. I would whole heartedly recommend TMU to prospective students. I owe great thanks to the faculty for being my guides and mentors during tough times.
