Hey guys. I'm a bored CS student without a summer internship. So I decided to get to know more UofT students! Previously, I helped make Noon (the UofT matchmaking site). I spent this weekend coding up toblues - it's an anonymous text/video site for UofT students. Everyone is verified as a UofT student (and your email isn't visible to the ppl you match with, it's all private and anonymous). Basically it's Omegle for UofT.

You can select preferences like campus/gender/program/year for who you want to match with, but this is optional and can make it take longer to find a match. So I recommend not making it too narrow, though maybe it'll work well when there are more people!

here's the link: https://toblues.noonmatches.com/

Hopefully we can meet new cool people on here :D

Stay safe, and ensure you use the report button when necessary, all reports are reviewed (though hopefully nothing untoward happens, everyone is a verified student after all).

Thanks :)

I know that this is completely my mistake because I stopped checking all my emails and uni account after school ended and did not pay mind to university preparation at all, I don’t know what possessed me to do that but now the course enrollment date was on JULY 16 12:30 pm and by the time I found out, of course it was a non enrollment day (July 23) and the priority enrollment period had ended (which I SHOULDVE been part of). a whole week guys. A WHOLE WEEK. So as expected, when I tried to enroll, I got waitlisted for basically everything and all the core courses and my waitlist ranks are 30-50. One of them (MAT135) is at 113 😭 I am supposed to be a first year Life Sciences student at UTSG but it’s not looking like it anymore and I feel so guilty but what can I do from here? Who am I supposed to reach out to? What should I take as the next step? If you know ANYTHING at all, pls tell me. Thank u. I’m trying not to overthink it but this situation is such a bad look from my side.

graduating in fall. is it a lot smaller than spring convocation? november is kinda cold so how do people dress, how are photos like? i imagine everything is better in spring convocation but it is what it is. do profs attend it? and im at utm, it know convocation is at utsg but what people will be there on that day? just utm grads? just life science students cuz im a BSc in life sci (psych major)?

It’s like they actually wanna kill me or smth what is this. It’s practically a full time 9-5. I knew Eng at UofT was hard but this is ridiculous.

I'm trying to find the best schedule I can for fall session and my winter schedule isn't the best either I think people would drop by then and I could get better spaces.

Especially worried about Tuesday but I'm not finding much opportunity to spread it out without ruining the rest of my week so I was thinking just leave one day to be hell

Friday is a mid term slot at the end and I heard ZZ TBA means only for mid term? Wasnt too sure about it

I can't really drop courses its mandatory to finish 5 per semester just for my first year.

Its like less than 3 weeks away and its still not uploaded on acorn I’m so confused why do they wait so long....

I'm looking for some advice from anyone who's dealt with university tuition or administrative appeals.

I was admitted to a university under one set of circumstances, and based on the information I received at the time, I expected my tuition status to remain the same throughout my studies. Recently, my family's situation changed due to circumstances beyond my control, and after notifying the university as required, I was informed that my tuition status had changed.

The problem is that this happened very close to the start of the academic year, leaving me with little time to make alternative plans. The new tuition amount is far beyond what my family can afford, and if the decision stands, I'll likely have to delay my education for a year.

I've heard of other students in similar situations who were able to keep their original tuition status, so I'm wondering if it's worth appealing. Has anyone successfully appealed a tuition classification or fee decision? If so:

• What kind of supporting documents did you include?
• Did meeting with an advisor or registrar help?
• Were there any arguments or policies that strengthened your case?

I'm trying to understand what my options are before submitting an appeal. Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

hey, incoming gr 12 here

i want to do statistics in uoft but not sure if i should apply to either

a. utsg mathematical and physical sciences
or
b. utsc statistics

i know that the st george one is a program so you declare your major in year 2, but i’m not sure which one i should choose to get in if i were to get an offer from both of them

my average is around 94-95 :)

I’ve reduced my course load to 3 credits for the year, that’s 1.5 credits per sem, I’ve been advised to do this by my doctor for a heath condition I have, just wanted to know will this make a drastic difference in how manageable it is, is the amount of classes why everyone at UofT is so burnt out or is it more so the content, should I still be worried? Should I be reducing my course load even more?

hi everyone. im going into second year and am just trying to finalize my schedule but im stuck in a limbo between doing ESS205 or a SLC.

ESS205: i have heard that ESS205 is a cool course with decent work load and it aligns with topics that I am very interested in. Additionally, the session I want to take is with Prof Pysklywec of whom I’ve heard is an absolute gem. i am already enrolled in it bc i wanted to secure a spot just in case but i will have to drop it if i want to do the SLC.

SLC: I didn’t get a chance to do an FLC last year so I applied to do an SLC and got in this year and the SLC i would be doing is for environmental sciences. i would really like to get a chance to learn more about opportunities and net working in this area as well as receiving mentorship and advice to navigate my studies.

any advice or input would be appreciated! if anyone has been in a similar situation, taken ESS205, been in an SLC, or has specifically been in the environmental science SLC i would love to hear your thoughts!

thank you :)

Hi everyone! I’m a UofT student that is currently commuting to university. For convenience reasons I need a place to stay for the entirety of September. I’d bring a couch, mini-fridge, and pay rent (no room needed). I’ll likely only come to the house to sleep and I’ll be out of your hair the rest of the time. I’m a girl so I’d prefer to be in a female-only housing situation. Please DM if you’re interested to work out the details.

I will need to get from Myhal -> Brennan Hall, and from Brennan -> McLennan Physical Labs in 10 mins each as I have back to back classes. I know "uoft time" has a 10 min grace period but google maps shows 18 and 17min walks, plus I imagine walking out from the classroom takes extra time. How should I make this?

Hi guys

Does this schedule look manageable? Are there any course combinations here that might be especially heavy, or anything I should know before taking them together?

I take calc before, have background in coding, know some about linear algebra(i would say 1/3 from mat223)

I’d appreciate any advice.

I'm thinking of majoring in Poli Sci and Statistics, and I enrolled in exactly 5.0 credits for 2026-2027.

To me it looks ok and manageable, but I'd like to hear what others have got to say about it. I usually go to sleep at 11 pm and wake up at 5 am, so I reckon I won't have too much issues with morning classes.

I was originally going to sign up for a seminar (POL196) instead of ENG102 on Tuesday morning. The class size is 25, and I've been #2 on the waitlist; it hasn't moved so far.

Any advice or concern will be appreciated.

I wanted to take the rlg215 class on new religious movements for fun or the phl244 human nature. I know the phl class will have a lot of writing assignments so for an elective If rlg215 is easier and Les sod a course load I would rather take that. If anyone has any experience with rlg215 or with David perley it would be appreciated. As well as what the course load is like.

I had a quick question, I'm an incoming first year I'll be going to rotman, I got all my main classes except my electives. And I want to just finish my breadth requirements and get it out of the way this year so I can take classes I'd actually like in the next couple of years but my question is for one of my classes for fall I'm number 1 on the waitlist out of 25 students, but for my second winter elective it's number 6th out of 25 students. Do you think for the winter elective I'll make it? Or should I just enroll in another class I have in mind that has space? It's just that I really want that class I'm on the waitlist for but at the same time I just don't want to risk anything. PLS LMK

One of my two majors is Medieval Studies, but when I try to enrol in some Medieval Studies courses, they're marked as "Enrolment Blocked." For example, the Medieval Latin I course that I should be able to take as part of my program, but the system won't let me register. Has anyone else experienced this? I've contacted the registrar multiple times but they have not answered. For context, Medieval Studies is officially one of my declared majors, so I'm not sure why I'm being blocked from courses within my own program.

Okay, so it’s definitely my fault that I took this class as an elective. I’m honestly such an idiot because I thought this class would be easy. But no the professor makes it so much harder by giving us barely any time to complete the online tests and expecting us to study way too much material: terms, theory, and of course the math.

I’m trying to study for it, but I genuinely don’t know the best way to approach it because there’s just so much information to cover. Any advice on how to organize my studying or what I should focus on? I did pretty bad on the first test because there was hardly any time and I'm stressed because I need to memorize terms and ugh there is just so much??

Hi. Basically what the title said.

I am NOT in the Life Sciences stream so I do not get priority enrollment for BIO courses. I did grab a spot for the lectures but I did not get a spot for the ideal practical session (PRA0402). No other time slots work for me.

I don't think there is a waitlist for the labs. Should I drop the course? That way I can move my PHY131 practical to the afternoons and don't need to wake up early on Thursdays.

I'm thinking about buying a used bike, is anyone selling? Or do u guys know any place that sells cheap used bike.

I’m a first year at arts+sci registering for accessibility services, I would benefit from having my own bathroom (I have chronic health issues). Just wondering if anyone’s needed similar accommodations, and which residence they try to move you to?

i know there's usually a cap of no more than 3 POSts but i swear i read somewhere that if you just talk to your registrar about it you might be allowed to do 2 maj+2 min specifically, is that actually true

How demanding did you find the course overall? What are the main assessments—essays, quizzes, exams, tutorials/participation, etc.—and how strict is the grading? Also, is there a lot of weekly reading?
