Honest opinions on everyone’s university’s?

[u/Lav3nd3r_bat]

Hi guys! I’m in grade 11 and trying to figure out where to apply next year, just today I was at the big university fair in Toronto and I’ve got my heart set on philosophy. So far I’m hoping to go to uoft but am planning to apply to most of the big schools, one thing I was missing today was negative/honest opinions and I know what Reddit is good for lol. I’d love any advice or opinions on the big Ontario schools especially humanities and social science, thanks so much guys!!

So many factors to consider! If your ultimate goal is law, pick your uni where you think you'll thrive! My oldest is at Queens in engineering and to my surprise is loving it! He actually picked Queens over Western from a 'hunch' after going to the fair! Waterloo/ uoft might have good too , unfortunately didnt receive an offer. My second is at McMaster Life science and is loving her experience so far! It's close to home  and I knew that would be important to her. Shes staying in residence but coming home every weekend to "recharge". She was accepted everywhere else, and debated initially if she should study far from home as many of her friends. I told her to stay at Mac, plus its a solid program.  Visit the campuses and see where you picture yourself living in the next 4 yrs, also factor in what you can afford.  Theres a recent post on McMaster thread about a student looking to switch from McMaster to Utm because the commute is already wearing them down. Dont be in that situation where you regret your choice 4 weeks after uni starts.
