Master of Science in Clinical Epidemiology and Health Care Research - Batch of 2027

3.9

Good for exposure and growth.

Tips: I have had a mostly positive experience at university and it has taught me to become more self reliant and capable than before. The academic culture is more straightforward and optional reading isn't exactly optional. Scholarships can also be awarded as the academic year progresses. Part time jobs on campus are limited and very sought after so you'll be lucky to get one.

BSc Hons in Molecular Biology - Batch of 2028

Though competitive in academics, there are many resources to help students along the way.

Tips: Quite the academically inclined college. Academics are rigorous, but the quality of education is also great! Resources are available to students to help throughout education such as health and counselling services, recreational services, women's equity centre, etc.

Likes (Public transportation): Free bus is very helpful. Many free resources are invested in by the student union. These resources, including free busing for students, health insurance, free counselling services, allow students to have the resources they need in order to do well.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): In Biology, an undergraduate degree is often insufficient in the job hunt. Post-grad jobs after a Biology undergraduate degree can be very competitive due to this. Due to the competitiveness, it can be overwhelming for students to try and find jobs after graduation.

Bachelors of Business Administration - Batch of 2027

Offered by University of Toronto

My study abroad life has been good so far.

Tips: Life in Toronto is full of surprises and activity. There's never much of a dull moment here. Classes are well structured and formulated in a way that they cover all essential aspects of your chosen field and the business programs are particularly renowned. Professors are wise and empathetic. Keep essentials from India especially medicines, as the winters can really trigger sickness if you're not used to it. Most of my meals are cooked and most groceries are available as well. Good experiences.
