Uoft at Mississauga Campus is a smaller yet focused environment to its students.
The program ranking varies on its difficulty. Management and sociology ranked at 3 being limited spots. Environmental management and science are ranked 2 as you must meet its requirements to be admitted in.
They may offer certain co-op positions but are also competitive and may be unpaid or unpaid depending on the course code that the co-op position is associated with. However, you will gain hands on experience as long as in class learning.
The smaller size campus allows students to connect to one another more meaning, easier to make friends but as well to get to other classes. The campus advocates being environmental friendly, as the campus uses and creates its own renewable energy and does not sell any plastic bottles as a step towards sustainability.

In my 2 years of uni experience, I’ve witnessed burnouts, protests, meltdowns, etc, but overall my experience has been alright. I cannot speak for STEM majors, but in the humanities, it seems like there you can still maintain a good balance between your personal life and school life. The workload is tedious, but it hasn’t gotten to the point where I couldn’t finish my work on time and had to take points off for late submission. The worst-case scenario for me has been asking for extensions and typically professors will grant free extensions unless no-free-extension policies were written in the syllabus.
As for the professors, there’s not much to review as the quality of teaching and modalities of learning varies with each individual. Most of the professors I’ve had have been helpful and nice. A few were questionable in my eyes but adored by other students, there are also a few whose classes I thought were alright but others hated. Again, it depends on the person and I would say it is the case for any other institution in the world.
The campus location is awesome, though. The downtown campus is both accessible and beautiful. Groceries, shopping, restaurants, movie theatres, and other sorts of entertainment are all within walking distance or a short ride by the TTC. The heart of Toronto offers so much entertainment and on-campus housing is convenient for students to actively participate in the school’s events.
Overall, I think it’s a pretty good place to spend your undergraduate life if you seek to be an academic, but I will say it comes with a bit of pressure so make sure to condition yourself for a fast-paced working environment before coming.
