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.

The city is quite expensive to live in for a student.

Tips: The city is bustling but welcoming. It's also a very expensive place to study, but luckily, I don't have to pay for my accommodations because I live with relatives. It's a great arrangement, and they're extremely kind. The campus is massive, so you will want to bring water with you so you don't dehydrate. The classes tend to be case-driven. So far, I'm very pleased with my choice of university.

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.

Pretty good place and friendly people.

Tips: The cultural shift here is real and expected, but not as bad as one would anticipate. Once you spend some time on campus, you will find yourself immersed in the city life and your classes to the point you'll have a pretty sorted routine. There are a bunch of mixers held downtown, so always stay a step ahead and network like a pro. Try to be active during classes and discussions, and ask as many questions and doubts you have. The faculty really understands and loves clarifying doubts.
