Third yr student here and still trying (fighting sometimes) with others to secure a studying space on campus. Library is WAY TOO SMALL for the school population of more then 10000 students. Cafeteria can do better - food services are the worst here, menus have been unchanging for past decades. Optical, drug stores and Canada post service should be included where you have so many people to serve. Teaching quality is almost the same as other campuses where intro courses are overcrowded and marks+assignments are merely done by TAs. Hard to even bond with any profs beyond second year (forget about recommendation letters unless you do a D level or obtain research/ta/fsg position with the prof). In conclusion, it is the administrative issue that can be addressed by innovative (true to the schools branding motto) policies and management! I still love UofT and would pick it all over again for its research opportunities, this is where I met so many wonderful people but regrettably the campus facilities are nothing to...
Read moreThe Scarborough campus of UofT is more of an afterthought. Kinda in the middle of nowhere, not a whole lot to do on campus. The place doesn't look exactly great (underground hallways and classes are called UTSC dungeons), not many places to eat (EDIT: Food in campus are not properly handled, beware) or hang out; and there are few opportunities and clubs going around. The place desperately needs more study space. The campus union is royally corrupt. Being a commuter campus doesn't help, and the mood around you is desolate. Apparently everyone is struggling, and nobody gives a damn about fixing it. Also be prepared for freakishly long commutes. The WiFi is pretty bad too. Programs and profs are pretty much a hit or miss, and they hardly care about student performance. In short, it is the Australia of UofT. Not sure what the Pan Am Centre did to fix anything. Gets mercy points for being a safe campus and having the Morningside Park connected with the...
