Overall the university is great, the thing that it’s lacking is a sense of community, in my opinion. It’s a highly competitive school with cutthroat programs where you will be squeezed out by competition if you dont keep your ground. If you end up going here – be prepared for this. The campus itself is beautiful, it’s situated in the heart of the Toronto downtown with beautiful views all around. Professors can be mixed, some are good, some are bad, most are exceptionally intelligent, it’s just the matter of whether or not they are good lecturers. Overall I haven’t had a bad experience here, but I just wish I could’ve made more friends

I think it’s a great school, my years here have been an adventure I will never forget, the people I’ve met, the knowledge I’ve acquired, all of those experiences are very special. Especially the UTM campus, it’s beautiful and modern and oh the deer! I would highly recommend going here, though prepare to do lots of work.

I took philosophy and linguistics. For philosophy, all professors welcome discussion and respect difference in opinion; there’s also essay clinic sessions that ensure students’ success in essay writing. For linguistics, all professors were approachable, though the quality of instruction varies from professor to professor. Moreover, as students proceed towards upper year linguistics courses, students would often have to use programming languages and softwares that they have never familiarized themselves with, and it would’ve been better if the professors bridged closer between linguistics and these programs/programming languages, such that they may seem more approachable and easier to use for students.
