I studied at the U of T downtown campus. It is a beautiful campus, but since it is downtown toronto, it doesn't have necessarily the most "campusy" feel. You are really in the city. The buildings are old, the classes, especially for first year, are enormous if you are in a relatively popular subject, and the environment is VERY academically rigorous. U of T downtown is NOT a place where you get easy grades. Some of the smaller universities and more selective programs at other schools in Canada and the US are harder to get into, but give away As pretty easily. U of T is the opposite, so be prepared to work hard! Good luck!

Tina’s Answer

Hi there! Although I've lived in San Francisco the last 10+ years, I grew up and attended the University of Toronto (St. George campus) for my undergrad. The 3 main campuses (Mississauga/Erindale, Downtown/St. George, Scarborough) are quite different in academic and social environment. Downtown is the biggest and have most discipline but a big focus on medicine, education, sciences, engineering and humanities. It's also a campus where most students live in a dorm or near the campus whereas the other two campuses it seems, are commuter schools. So I'm sure the attendance rates for parties are higher downtown :) Scarborough campus is also known for business administration. So it all depends on what you're looking for! :) Good luck!
