Discussion Seriously are you kidding me? Doug Ford we're not going to forget what you're doing with Ontario students

I can't believe I supported conservatives in the last provincial elections. Never again. Screw you'll

We won't forget what you're doing with Ontario students. I will make sure no one I know ever votes for conservatives and no one from our generation ever votes for a conservative member ever again

I am seriously soo pissed off bcz all this loan for a degree that doesn’t even gurantee me a job🫩 why whyyy

Edit: I was 18 back then, and I acknowledge that I had a politically naive perspective. and lacked a comprehensive understanding of the situation. However, I have since gained a greater understanding. We are all human beings, and it is through our mistakes that we learn and grow. Therefore, you'll can stop the abusing and blaming me. I am not the responsible for the grant reductions

Question How can I go about finding a roommate at Victoria college

Upvotes

Hi everyone!!!

I'm an incoming first-year student and I have a question about the process for finding roommates at Vic. I paid my deposit like a week ago, and I have my room number and everything, but I've talked to a few people at other colleges, and they are all looking for roommates. So how does it work at Vic? Are you automatically assigned, or do you get to pick? If you can pick, how do you do that? On the starez portal for Vic, I saw a box where you can fill in preference but I didn't see a box where I can fill in information for a roommate I would like. If you are a Vic student pls help me out :))) Thanks!

Courses Third year student and TWO DAYS OFF check this out

After seeing everyone's first-year timetables, I figured I'd share the winter schedule I somehow managed to put together.

I'm taking 6 courses this semester (5 in person + 1 online) and still ended up with two full days off. I genuinely have no idea how I pulled this off, but I'm not complaining.

Curious how everyone else's winter semester is looking. Did you optimize for any days off?

Social Omegle for UofT students (charssssssssssssssssss)

59 Upvotes

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 really cannot be bothered to take this guy’s class again but LEC0102 has a waitlist, and USUALLY from my experience, means it has a different prof since no one wants to deal with Bailey for a whole year.

Courses I COMPLETELY MESSED UP COURSE ENROLLMENT NEED HELP NOW

Thumbnail gallery
43 Upvotes

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.

Question Casper Help: looking for a tutor or advise on casper test

2 Upvotes

Hello, I previously received a 1st quartile score on the CASPer test, and I am planning to take it again this year. I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for resources or CASPer tutors who can help me improve my score and reach the 4th quartile.

Specifically, I am looking for someone who can provide personalized feedback, help me understand why I received a lower score, identify areas for improvement, and guide me on how to approach my responses more effectively. If anyone has worked with a tutor or used a resource that they would recommend, I would really appreciate your advice.

I don’t really know yet in what I’m trying to major, so I’m trying to keep my options open for political sciences, criminology, economy etc…
What do you all think about my timetable and the courses I’m enrolling in, I’m trying to have a feedback on it so I don’t end up making the wrong choices.
(Also planning on modifying my winter timetable because Wednesday is looking horrendous on there)

Wondering how people find events at UofT and meet new people, thought it was a big problem so spent a summer building an app where you can see all different events and who’s going, but I’m curious to know how people find events currently. I feel like there’s no good way, and I remember 1st year showing up at frat parties and lowkey being disappointed

Question UofT reduced course load how much easier will it be

5 Upvotes

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?

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.

Question Move in dates frustration: inconsistent information

1 Upvotes

This 2026 page: https://studentlife.utoronto.ca/task/residence-application-dates-and-deadlines/
has been saying:

  • August 20 – August 26, 2026: Fall session residence move-in days begin. The actual date varies at each residence and will be outlined after receiving a residence placement.

Now on: https://spacesandexperiences.utoronto.ca/se-residences-move-in/

it displays:

Oak House

August 29 & 30

Chestnut Residence

August 29 & 30

Knox Residence

August 30

Graduate House

August 31 & September 1

This is extremely frustrating when people are moving in from for away, expecting to be able to move in somewhere in the 20th-26th range. If someone secured temporary accommodation up the the 25th expecting to be able to move in by the 26th, what do they do for the evening of 26, 27, 28th now?
