BA (Hons) in Economics - Batch of 2028

4.4

The faculty is extremely well-qualified and leading in their respective fields.

Tips: There is definitely a lot of exposure to different cultures, and a lot of freedom given to students. Students at the University of Toronto Mississauga are in charge of their own studies, which I think was probably the biggest cultural change. Unlike in school, you are responsible for your own progress, and nobody will follow up with you. You take charge of your education and assignments. Overall, I am extremely satisfied with the experience. While the workload can be tough, the assignments help us gain a better understanding of the topic and subject. The University of Toronto has definitely helped shape my personality and made me more independent.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is extremely well-qualified and leading in their respective fields. Professors are increasingly helpful and kind, especially during office hours, and will patiently explain concepts until fully understood. Some professors go out of their way to accommodate students. Teaching assistants are also extremely helpful. The teaching methodology is mainly research-centric, with many assignments involving research and project work, which aids in better understanding. The campus's diversity is reflected in the teaching faculty, with professors of various nationalities.

Dislikes (Public transportation): The campus is well-connected to the rest of the city, being a major bus stop in Mississauga with nearly all buses passing through. While bus connectivity is excellent, occasional delays do occur, though rarely. I've rated it four stars because, although there's good bus service, the train connectivity throughout the city isn't as strong, and you'll primarily rely on buses.

Participation is seen as a necessity, not just optional.

Tips: I have seen lots of changes in myself after coming here, and participation is seen as a necessity, not just optional. There is a strong Indian community here, which gives me a sense of familiarity, and there are also various part-time jobs you can try out, such as in fast-food restaurants or grocery stores. They're relatively open to hiring students. I didn't get any scholarships, but I would say I am satisfied and happy here.

Hard coursework and degree.

Tips: The programme I am in is beyond challenging. You'll need to grind harder than you're prepared for to make it through. It’s a lot of work, but I believe it's worth it. There are tons of job opportunities in the Toronto STEM job market, so none of your hard work will go to waste, and the good thing is that there’s a huge market for STEM in Toronto, so no skill of yours will ever be wasted. There will be sleepless nights because of endless assignments and deadlines, but the market for your skills here is large, so it will ultimately be worth it.

Great place to study and grow significantly.

Tips: Since my major is slightly unconventional, my experience has also been unique. The campus is big, people are nice and there's stuff to do. It took me a while to understand the credit system and one thing you should know is that every class follows a different format for grading. The labs are fancy and the professors are pioneers. Great place to learn.

The environment here is quite fast-paced, and there's plenty of diversity.

Tips: The environment here is quite fast-paced, and there's plenty of diversity, giving it a very multicultural feel. Homesickness is real, but there are tons of clubs, activities, and campus events to look forward to, and the Indian restaurants are surprisingly quite good. My classes encourage a lot of discussions and out-of-the-box thinking.
