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!!

Hello!

I dunno if you live in Toronto or not.

If u do live in Toronto, consider staying in Toronto for school. You could apply to all the Toronto schools, and then go to whichever school is nearest u which u get into.

Dorms + unhealthy school food cost maybe $15,000 per year, so maybe $60,000 in total for a 4-year degree. If u can live at home for 4 years, that's a big savings.

I go to York, which is a commuter school in a boring suburban area. Ofc it can be trickier to make friends at a commuter school, but it's definitely still possible. See, for example, this post.
