Psychology at UofT is a good choice. Most professors are good and care about students. Some of them, however, are the opposite and give students a hard time. They are unprepared for classes and don’t provide enough support material to prepare for assignments and exams.Unfortunately, some courses are only available with these profs, and students are left with no option. Good tip is to check RateMyProf before taking a course. This will tell you what to expect from a prof and their course

Overall I love the academic and living environment of my school, it is indeed open, and inclusive and our voices usually can be heard of any color & race. I participated in some activities held by the university and they are cool! I am looking forward to joining more clubs and more amazing events as the pandemic ends. On the other hand, I still find the university’s rating system is kind of messed up(I believe most of the universities have similar issues), especially for some highly competitive programs like engineering, statistic, economics, etc. For these programs, professors usually are asked to keep a certain level of GPA, so they usually made extremely hard exams or projects. For psychology, it situation happened sometimes but not all the time.

So far, all of my professors have been incredibly knowledgeable and eager to share their expertise with students. It’s clear that you’re learning from the best of the best, and the course expectations match that. Class sizes do tend to be large and unpersonable, and TAs definitely don’t share the same enthusiasm for education that the professors do.
