Studying Abroad in Canada: Great social experience and I learned a lot academically Past Review

Academic rigor, intensity, resources, etc.

I learned a lot at University of Toronto. The classes were harder for me than they are in the United States. They don't have grade inflation like we do here in the United States, so the professors expected a lot more out of you to get a good grade. The classes were also much larger than I was used to.

On-site administration of your program

Had some activities to get the exchange students more involved and comfortable. Were very helpful in getting adjusted.

How satisfied were you with your living arrangements?

I stayed on the fifth floor of the Chestnut Residence and loved it! I mostly loved it because of the other students on my floor. Living with other international students was a great experience for me.

Toronto is very vegetarian friendly overall, so I really appreciated that. The Chestnut Residence has a great cafeteria, which is where I ate most of my food. Toronto is also a great food city though, so get out every now and then!

How integrated did you feel with the local culture?

The social life I had in Toronto was the best part of the program with me. It was really only with the other exchange students who lived on my floor, and I loved it!

How well were health issues addressed during the program?

Toronto is an incredibly safe city for how large and urban it is. The program was also great about making sure our mental and physical health was in check. You are given health care coverage, so no need to worry about that.
