I really enjoyed my time at U of T, but the nickname of U of Tears is very real, especially depending on which department you’re in (engineering, cs). I really loved my professors and many of my classmates once I got to 3rd year, but the first two years were brutal with trying to make friends in 1000+ student classes while also struggling to even keep up with assignments and tests. However, once the classes got smaller I really thrived and enjoyed the professors. They generally are all very passionate about what they’re teaching and can often be very open to just discussing the course with their students. I also loved how international the student body is. I met people from everywhere in the world, from every inhabited continent, and loved the culture of the student body. However, the administration needs to revamp the mental health services and the structure of courses severely.
