I took math and sciences all throughout high school and started my first year at UofT in the sciences. I was mainly in it because of familiarity and to please my parents but I was not passionate about it at all. So instead, I ended up enrolling in classes that interested me and I intended to switch majors the second year. Even though my first year felt incredibly difficult and lonely, I absolutely fell in love with what I was learning (like it literally would give my heart butterflies!). My favourite class was the SMC Cornerstones to Social Justice seminar and the most emotionally draining class I loved was POL101. I finished the year with a 4.0 and then switched to a Political Science degree at another university (whole other story!). Anyways, five years later and now I am headed to law school and living my dream! My first-year experience at UofT was a huge defining moment for me that I look back on fondly, and I know it will be for you too. You have the potential to excel at ANY subject, but your success will be so much more meaningful when you find that motivation and excitement from it! So do not be afraid to go after it even if it is something new. I am wishing you the best of luck on your journey and sending you positive vibes!
Hey Aneesah, THANK YOU SO MUCH for this!!! it made me feel so much better about my decision and it's just so nice hearing from someone who has gone through smth similar. I'm so happy that everything has worked out great for you! Congrats on getting into law school!! That's really amazing
Were you at UTSG? Going there for maths and physics this summer - got any tips?
4.0?! Thank God I’m staring at UofT in September and have been hearing such scary things 😭
hi!! was pol101 hard? i am thinking of taking it 🥺🥺 does abyone have tips on easy first year courses please
As someone who just finished her 4th year at UofT, this video was so accurate and you provided some great tips!
Although I would say, office hours are SO much better when they're one-on-one with your prof/TA! It's far less intimidating and most of the time the profs are very nice and understanding (at least in my experience). And another tip I would add is to make sure your profs know who you are! Especially if you're in upper year and planning on applying to grad school, it's so much easier to get a recommendation letter from a prof who knows you. But even as a first/second year student, if the prof knows you, chances are they are going to remember you!
Thank you so much for this! :))
I loved the little edit in the intro!! it was so satisfying to watch haha
Anton Patsi hehe thank you!!🤗
as a first year student in UofT who has done sciences ALLLL high school and now is doing social sciences... trust me I had not studied any kind of social science before and I felt like I didnt know much but ya get there and u learn... super great
love the video! also the fact that an Innis class was featured LOLL !!
Rebeca Moya yes youre right!! You get there and u learn☺️☺️ thank u for sharing :)) i feel alot bette ahaa And yeSss innis👏🏼👏🏼
Glad content like this is more prevalent these days compared to even a few years ago! As someone who went through the life sci program at St George, lot of what you touch on here would have been really helpful when starting out - especially on being open to switching subject posts. Thanks for the video and good luck with the rest of UofT!
ahh Thank you so much! :)
Read “how to be a straight a student” by Cal Newport. It’ll help u guys with a lot of the problems mentioned in this video
I’m in lifesci as well! I think it really requires passion to continue studying, otherwise it’s too much memorization...
yeah so true..
NicolesVlogs Even when I have some sort of interest, sometime it still feels overwhelming😂 Good luck finding your passion! If you don't really like it don't worry too much about the time you spent learning it (keep on learning the things that you don't like is just more pain...)
Wang Xunan ahh youre right!! Thanks :))
Hi!! I'm choosing life sciences aswell, but the last thing i want is to work my ass off and get paid the least among my peers. Soooo, could you please tell what the job prospects are?? And could it be possible to go for bio medical engineering after being enrolled in life sciences?? Thanks!
Ahhh as a Christian Korean Canadian myself, thinking of attending Uoft this coming year, this video was SO relatable AND fun🙏❤️
Lucy Jeong omg thank youuuuuuu 😆❤️❤️
I hope the explanation of why I liked sociology was helpful :))
Hey Nicole, I really enjoyed the vid! I'm a first-year at Waterloo and a lot of what you talked about was very relatable and it's refreshing to see content like this, keep it up! :)
Micah Huang ☺️☺️☺️ahh thanks!!!
i go to waterloo too and i was able to relate to her.
Hey! I'm a third year Life science at UofT too (: very refreshing to see your content and totally agree with your comments about studying something you actually enjoy and how it correlates with motivation. It's really good that you're being proactive about switching out into something you like early! best of luck
Hamama The potato hi! Thank you so much!!☺️☺️
me rewatching this video, made me feel a lot better about first year. i really hope uni gets better overtime
It will Jenny! You got this
It’s never too late to switch! I’m at 2nd year of master in computer engineering at UofT. I made my switch to computer engineering from control engineering after the Bachelors degree.
that's awesome! thank you for the insight :)
Just made breakfast and I have this video set up for me to watch while I eat and I ALREADY KNOW it's gonna be a good video. Time to watch!!
Ok update: SO INFORMATIVE and such helpful tips for people!! Ahhh great job
AHHHAH ILY❤️
Hey! I'm also a first year but at Western med sci and it's really cool to see someone that's also documenting their thoughts/time at uni! I just stumbled onto the channel and I gotta say I completely agree with the point where you said that nobody has their life together. Personally, I believe that I take stress better than most people but for some reason people assume that I just have my entire life figured out because of that 😂 so yes, don't worry... literally nobody has it 100% down! great reflection!
Ahaha yuppp we’re all figuring it out:) best of luck for finishing off this semester☺️🙌🏼 thanks for watching!
@@NicolesVlogs yeah you too! take care!! 🙏
I was in your position 3 years ago Nicole dw. I'm in social sciences and also go to U of T St. George. It really stresses you out with what you want to do, how you want to change the path, and other things related to it. I was the same and it was so stressing and it is still stressing for me after 3 years. I am always anxious for any assessment that comes at me now. But I hope that you will be able to continue your other 3 years with passion and hopefully you are not stressed later on ❤🙏 Good luck with choosing your programs, majors or minors 2nd year and forward~~
Thanks again Tony :))
@@NicolesVlogs No problem :) First year is always the most decisive part of university, since you don't know what you want to do, and what you want to specialize in. But I think you've sorted all that out now :) So yaaay
@@NicolesVlogs Another good thing is that you'll always want to learn new things, so don't stress if you have to change again in 2nd year, but change decisively based on the amount of requirements you need. I recommend using Degree Explorer for that :)
i accepted my uoft offer last month and I'm very excited!!! hope to see you on campus 💞
congrats!!! :))
hey girl! I just discovered your account and I’m loving your content!
I’m about to finish my first year of uni too, and I applied to the U of T St.George campus a few months ago to possibly transfer.
I applied to Life Sciences and I’m hella stressed because I am still waiting for a response lol.
Your vids are super informative and it’s nice to get. And it's awesome that you’re discovering new things and reaching out to find out what you truly wanna do! Have fun and stay healthy!!!
Rachel Hope hey Rachel, thanks soooo much! Best of luck with everything❤️❤️🥰
5:32 ❤ I loved that statement!!!
me too :)
Hahahahahha I don't feel like you babbled on and on and on! Honestly this was suppppper helpful-can't emphasize that enough! Thank you for sharing!!! I feel like this really helped me get better insight as to what one's first year experience at UofT is actually like and helped lessen my apprehension for the rigorous and intense workload. Knowing that it gets manageable, and that the overwhelming and lost feeling is not uncommon is pretty comforting. I'm really happy you switched to a combination of courses that engages you more by the way, that's awesome. :)
Hey Stacey, I'm suppppper glad that it was helpful!! Everything will work out :) best of luck
Thank you so much Nicole! Even though i’m in grade 10 :/, I literally love your content and I wish you the best for uni! 💞💞
Tassie Khachian HI TASSIE❤️ tysm for your support ahhhh
love hearing about your experiences at a different uni! excited for more videos :)
Thank you! :))
I LOVE your thumbnails btw SO cute
@@NicolesVlogs aww thank you!!
If you liked first year seminars, you’ll love fourth year courses. They are similar to a seminar courses (8-20 people) and usually have no tests or exams.
omg really??? that's so greatt ahhh
you're perfect, It's helping me so much, thank you. I feel like I had a friend how I can talk about this and it's so motivate
ahhh i'm glad this helped you!
Thank you so much!! I just committed to u of t next year and my sister who is currently in life sci there has been scaring the crap out of me lol so this has been super helpful!
audrey Le ahahhaa im glad it helped!! Congrats on your acceptance and good luck 🥰🥰
audrey Le me too! which college will you be in?
alina kouzouian New College! :)
audrey Le me too! hope we can meet
i'm so glad that i found this video! i accepted uoft's offer a couple of days ago and i wanted to hear about other people's experiences before starting in sept. thanks for the tips!
Omg yay! glad it was helpful and congrats on your acceptance :)
jyeo that’s great to hear!
Thank you for sharing your experiences. I’ll be a new student to UTSG and I am really concerned about my university life. I just felt much better and gained some confidence after watching this video.
hi! I'm so glad it helped you feel better! :) good luck with everything!
Wow I feel this!! I think this is gonna be such a helpful video for manyyyyy!! I LOVVVVEEEEE!!!
AHHH thanks JUDY
Wow - your Mom is really progressive and supportive
ahaha she really is so supportive :)
I loved this video! Super helpful once again :)
Thank you so much!!
Laura Pollock Ahhh that makes me so happy ☺️☺️
Your vlogs are great Nicole! If you decide to leave the world of science - we'll have to feature you on our channel haha! Keep those videos coming ✨
:)) thank youuuu
Hi ~~ I am a third year student in physics & chem and its really nice that your thought process+ realizations helped you overcome your difficulties plus you were able to come to terms with so many things about Uoft in your first year!! I wish I realized half of what you had said in my first year too then I wouldn't be so overwhelmed rn lol and calc omg I wouldn't take calc again even if I was paid, that was such a horrible first year course o_o
Another life saving tip is to try to talk to upper year students so that you know which prof/ course are better to take + course loads + midterm tips etc
Good luck for finals ~
Hey Tasnia, thank you so much for the insight and the tips! :))) good luck for finals and omg calc hahaha nEVer again LOL
I'm just finishing my first year at U of T (my last exam is today!) and I hardcore relate to a lot of the stuff you talked about. I took soc100 with Tepperman (and I think you did too based on your syllabus lol) but I simply did not vibe with it. I def feel like imposter syndrome is a huge thing at uni, especially at U of T - I'm minoring in Classical Civilizations and I feel SO dumb when I go to tutorials because I haven't had as much experience in classics. I also totally agree with taking first year seminars - I go to Vic but I was in St. Mike's One program and it was probably my favourite class in first year. I hope you get into the soc specialist and have a restful summer before we head back for second year (hopefully)!
Ahhh yes so glad u relate too hahah it makes me feel alot better hahah and yeahhh it was teppermans class :) i did hear lots of mixed opinions from that class haha. Best of luck with everything in the next couple years and yes hopefully we’ll be back on campus soon😢
I'm starting to prep myself for college and I just came upon one of your videos what was like yesterday :) and I had to subscribe lmao I absolutely love your personality and your videos have been really helpful❤
AW THANK YOU
I'm also a first year science student at UofT, It's nice to see some representation of us on youtube
ahaha :))
You’re video are so helpful thank you!!❤️❤️
you're welcome! thank you for watching :)
i really do be a freshman and watching your videos rn cuz i want to go to UofT really badly
best of luckkkk :)
Thank you Nicole! This is very helpful :) Hope I can get into u of t haha
Thanks for watching!!

loved this content nicole :))
Eunice Yong Ahh thank u eunice☺️❤️
Hey Nicole! Ive been watching your videos for a while and I love how real you are about everything. I got accepted to UofT St George, and I was wondering if you have any advice about frosh? Was it really intense in terms of meeting new people and parties and things like that?
i think frosh is really chill like everyones trying to make friends so its not like weird to ask people for their snap or insta, and to just hang out with people u don't know too well and what not. Depending on your college, there are diff events and some are parties, but there are also just like floor parties or frat parties that happen during the week (i'm not the biggest partier though so i only sort of went to 1 that wasn't frosh run) There's tons of opportunity to meet people and just have a good time, it's all about how much u put yourself out there!
thank u nicole because i am also in my first year and it is very very hecticcccc
ahh yupppp! you got this!! :)
Hi from Indonesia! First of all, I really love your channel. Great edits and content!
This year, I'll be studying math sciences in UofT. Do you have any tips for international students?
Hey thank you! and I think all my tips are general tips that I'd say applies for any student. There are campus groups specific to certain cultures or ethnicities so there will be opportunities to get involved and meet people! it's all about how much u put yourself out there :) the transition in terms of environment and culture might be difficult at first but I think if u remain open-minded and prepare yourself that it will be a change it'll hopefully be a good experience :) good luck with everything!
I'm from indonesia too!
Can you tell me how to join uoft?
I'm really clueless about it
Woah! You're really pretty!
fiana faria omg ty!🤭❤️
@@NicolesVlogs It's 3:23 am; I'm on the phone watching some of your videos and suddenly wondering, what would you look like if you transformed yourself into an ABG 😂 #RANDOM-QUARANTINE-THOUGHTS
fiana faria AHAHA thatd be funny 😂 possibly will consider ahahaa
Great videos, thanks for that (I like this kind of real student experience). As an int. student, I do believe it is somehow possible to get to UofT, but, for now, the tuition fees are just tremendously high for me. So need to figure out whether to complete college degree in Toronto and earn some money, so that I can afford it, or move back to my home country to study at university...Absolutely love Toronto, but I am so confused about my life right now...
By the way, wish you all the best, keep the great work👍
ahh yes the tuition for int. students is INSANE. I wish you best of luck figuring everything out and thank you for watching! :)
Hey!!! i love ur videos, they’re really helpful! I’m in grade 11 starting to think about uni and UofT life sci is def one of my top choices! however, i’ve heard so many horror stories and it’s rlly making me nervous. I was just wondering what ur high school average was and what it is now in ur first year at Uoft? (if u don’t mind sharing) I just wanna have an idea of how university marks are cause everyone keeps saying it’s a drastic drop. I have a 94 average typically but i’m afraid that’s just not enough!! also, i am hoping to later attend medical school so i would need to keep up a very high gpa!
kylie correia hey! Thanks for watching☺️☺️ glad its been helpful. Sooo my high school mark was similar to yours, Around mid 90, and my mark dropped around 10-15% id say (depending on course as of now but havent fully finished finals so idk my final mark) i do know the mark drop depends on each student bc everyone is coming from diff high school backgrounds and some high schools are harder than others to get good marks. Im sure you’ll be fine bc u seem like youre actively researching for unis so im guessing youre studious aha. I think its mainly about the work ethic though because in uni its just more work in shorter time so u need to develop good study habits (which is super helpful if ur able to do that in highschool) :) hope that helps!
NicolesVlogs haha 😂 ya i would consider my self studious!! and yes that helps a lot!! thank u so much, i appreciate it!!
kylie correia no problem!! Good luck with everything 😊🙌🏼
OMG u look similar to Blackpink so Rose
je souhaite rentre en contact avec une personne de l'universite de toronto
Hey! I love your videos, thank you so much! I'm a post-secondary school student from France who will study at UofT in the fall (St-George campus in Social Sciences). At this point in time I'm really freaked out about accommodation as I don't have access to student residences due to my status. As you're in the same situation could you give me some advice about where to look to find the best info and which are the best districts to go to in terms of safety and commuting time? Thanks!
Uoft gang 💙
:))
Super helpful!
Avison Charm yay I’m glad it was!😊😊
your mom is wonderfuulll
11:42 going into my final semester, can confirm
Ahahaha😬
Hii! I’m from Brazil and i really would like to study at University of Toronto. I know it’s hard but, is my dream you know? i’m so interested about your videos!! thankss
Thank you!
Hi! I plan on going to utsc to study psychology and you helped me realize that I can always change my decision and that not everything is set in stone, so thank you!
Hey, I'm glad that it helped you realize that :)) and as of now I'm thinking either working for a non-profit related to helping the homeless, perhaps policy work, or maybe even considering if possible becoming a prof (though that would take very long ahh)
Your videos are so helpful! I got accepted into life sci at uoft, I’m fairly independent but I’ve always been someone whose shared notes and liked collaborating with my classmates. Is it true that since its so competitive people don’t really want to be friendly and do things like share notes and help each other out? Where you able to find friends and struggle together lol or is everything kinda like every one for themselves?
heyy! congrats on your acceptance and YES we all struggle together. It's been like that for me and my friends so not to worry :)
Everyone I've met has been really down to study together, share notes, compare answers, etc :))
woooo!!❤️❤️
Rachel In ya dudeeeeee
My mom legit want to graduate in 3years and go straight to get a master degree
woah that's awesome :)
this was honestly so informative! Do you have any idea on how life is for a Rotman's student? I am considering going there in the fall, but I'm not sure what this program at U of T is like
IVY You can watch Richard Han‘s channel, he is a rotman’s student
Hey! yes Richard Han's channel does have alot about life as Roman student! seems like a competitive program but definitely have heard great things about it.
Hi! I really liked your video. I’m a junior in High School and I’m thinking about studying at U of T. One question, why do you decided to study at the St. George Campus? I’m kinda scared cause I know it’s in downtown and that’s what makes it cool but I’ve heard that is the one who has the most students and is really hard to make friends there. I’m an introvert 😅.
Hi! soo for me personally, there were other factors that went into it like where I live, but also I wanted to be in the city coming from a small town! I'm quite an introvert too but there are MANY friendly people you'll meet, and I definitely made lots of great friends :)
Thanks! I’m going to u of t next year and this video was super helpfulI heard it’s hard to make friends at U of T how true is that?
sean Carmody hey congrats on your acceptance:) and im glad this helped u out! Check out my “5 things i wish i knew before coming to uoft” video bc I touch on that question😁😁
This year the prof for csc197 is f. Pitt, did you have him as well?
No I didn't!
NicolesVlogs for ini101, this year was Shawn Micallef. Did u have him?
@@bellalin1039 yes!! I loved the class with him :)
Hi I love your videos! Thank you for making them. I also aim to apply to UofT next year, so do you maybe have tips on how to get in and the minimum requirements in terms of grades and community services etc... I’m not like a straight A student so do you think I have my chances to get in?
Emma M heyyy! Sooo itll rlly depend on the program u apply for, but for life sci there’s no supp app so they dont look at community service however doing community service is always super great just in general ahah and also it could help u apply for various awards or scholarships so i aways recommend doing alot :) In terms of grade, it will again depend on the year and program but dont be too discouraged if youre not straight A bc there will be programs that still accept as well as diff campuses have diff entrance averages so i recommend still applying! If you’re applying next year I’m assuming you’re in grade11, so I’d say theres still lots of time for u to try to raise your marks and im sure youre very much capable. It’s rlly all about work ethic so I recommend trying out diff study methods such as pomodoro method, to see what will help u stay focused and motivated! Sorry my answers kinda vague but Hope that helps🙌🏼🙌🏼 best of luck with everything!
as someone who is currently pondering over whether or not to attend uoft this fall, this vid was so informative!! i personally am a lot more interested in the social sciences, but i applied for life sciences because i was planning on majoring in psych (although this might change). do you think it is possible to switch to social sciences before first year begins, and, if so, still potentially be able to major in psych? thanks so much :)
Yiannie Lin Heyy psych actually is a life sci program at uoft so you just have to take psy100 during first yr then youre set! But even if it wasnt, bc social sci and life sci are both under arts and sci faculty, you can take courses in either “program”. You apply for actualy programs of study near end of first year:) hope that helps!
NicolesVlogs ahh okay i see, thank you!! ☺️☺️
Yiannie Lin np! Best of luck with everything ☺️
Can we apply for PhD mathematics on scholarship?
i got accepted to uoft social science in both St George and Scarborough campus but im struggle where should I go? I am leaning on the co-op program (Scarborough) but I know St George is better!! btw love your content xx
Victoria Hung hi there! There’s definitely pros and cons of both campuses. I do know that St geroge is more research focused while like u said Scarborough has co-op, so it depends on what u think is more important for you! There definitely is opportunity to do get involved in work at st. George though it may not be co-op, you can do ROP, or work study. I think also depends on what kind of setting you want. St. George is in the city so theres alot more going on in terms of events or opps outside of school too. But Scarborough seems like theres a stronger community aspect. (Idrk too much about Scarborough campus sorryy) Hope that helps! Thank u for watching😊
i have the same program too! Idk which campus to go to
9:20 thats so true. profs are so lazy omg LOL. Im in 3rd year and I experience this every semester LOL
rsp 123 😭😭😂
do you recommend the ONE programs?
Mariana C sorry idk too much about the One programs but from what i hear, theyre rlly engaging and great learning opps if they interest u!
damn now that I am graduating and I am at the end of the road, its so crazy seeing other people finish first year. Im getting way too old too fast
my advice: enjoy it, it will be over before you know it
ahh congrats on your graduation :)) and yesss I'll try my best to cherish it haha
does uoft reward those who study and work hard? or is UofT unreasonably hard and purposely fails people on their exams, killing THEIR MED SCHOOL HOPES AND DREAMS!
SuperSwagman25
honestly from my experience i dont think that uoft purposely fails people but im not sure loool. I dont think in first year at least that the tests unreasonable. i do hear though that for life sci programs in upper years tests quite challenging...
Heyy, thank you for the tips! Are courses very very different from one campus to another? I am going to UofT next year, and I get feeling that the experience is very distinct from Scarborough to St. George for example.
Juan Pablo Escorcia hey! I dont know how the courses are at the other campuses so idk if theyre different than st.george but the reputation does seem like downtown is a bit kore rigorous comparatively. I think the atmospheres of the diff campuses are just very different in terms of # of students, size, location, etc.. sorry im not much help for your question☹️☹️
No worries! Thank you very much! In fact, I think I’m going to LifeSci at St. George. I just wanted to know out of curiosity.
Juan Pablo Escorcia np!!☺️
Was it easy to get A- in the seminar courses? Can they be used towards your gpa
Yes! I found it quite easy to get a high mark in seminar courses, as long as you keep up with the work :)
NicolesVlogs who is your prof for csc197 and ini101?
NicolesVlogs I’m thinking of taking it next year but I can’t find anything about it online. Would you mind sending me the syllabus please 😭
@@annizheng3546 ini101 you can find more info here artsci.calendar.utoronto.ca/section/Innis-College if you scroll down you’ll see info on the course. For the csc197 you can find it on here if u scroll down artsci.calendar.utoronto.ca/section/Computer-Science
Hi! As a commuter did you take any 9am classes?
Christine W. Omg i DID in first sem and honestly it was ROUGHH im definitely not gonna do another 9am LOL
Nice video. Do you know how UoT Scarborough is compared to St George? Can I transfer from Scarborough to St George after first year?
Hansraj Hans heyy idrk too much about Scarborough campus.. it is a smaller campus with less students and ive heard theres a stronger community aspect to it Sorry idk too much haha. And yes im quite sure it is possible to transfer between campuses/take courses at other campuses!
NicolesVlogs alright thank you. Keep up the good work
Hansraj Hans np and thank u!!😊
Can I have a qstn.pls..if UofT accepted you with other course. Is there possibility to switch with ur 1st or 2nd course you'd like when your there already? Thanks in advn.
I’m not sure I fully understand your question but you can change your courses as long as they are before the deadline to enrol. Not sure if you’re in art sci but here’s the website with the info for arts sci programs www.artsci.utoronto.ca/current/academics/course-enrolment
Do you think doing ap exams was helpful?
Yes! I only did calculus AB exam but I think preparing for it really helped me grasp the concepts, which were all reviewed in uni calc.
It seems that UofT closes now in the summer, right? I am an upcoming student in the UofT too. Is there any building/classroom that will open to students to study in the downtown campus? It seems that most of the building will need access card to enter now.
Hi! So you can choose to enroll in the in-person class option when you do your course selection! These classes are limited in spaces due to covid measures but if you do want to experience the campus life this is definitely a great option!
How much free time do you have? Like after school and after your homework etc.
bingbong honestly not that much 😭 but its because im not the best at managing my time haha its a work in progress! Trying to limit procrastination😫
Im sure id have alot more free time if i did my school work as soon as I got home😅😅😂
Hi!! I'm choosing life sciences aswell, but the last thing i want is to work my ass off and get paid the least among my peers. Soooo, could you please tell what the job prospects are?? And could it be possible to go for bio medical engineering after being enrolled in life sciences?? Thanks!
I’m in grade 12 and got accepted into UofT for kinesiology. I thought Toronto was the place I wanted to go but after watching so many UA-cam videos about the competition and how it’s not much of a community, it’s making me really nervous... do you have any regrets about going to UofT?
Jocelynn McGee hey if ud like you can check out my 5 things I wish i knew video for some additional insight! Personally I dont regret it! I really like how theres lots of support available and i just like the city environment aha.. perhaps my opinion will change throughout the next few years but as of now im actually glad im here:)
hiii ı am an highschool student. And my dream is uoft, ı dont know which lesson shoul ı choose but these days ı wonder law. what do you think about it, is there any advice for me?? ı really like ur videos
Hmmm not too familiar with law but shoot me a message on instagram maybe i can help (@nicolesvlogss) :)
Hi, I have a question about the sociology and psychology courses for the first year university. I wonder what books are required to read in these courses.
that'll depend on the prof! for my intro to soc course the textbook was "Real Life Sociology" and for intro to psych I bought the online textbook I think it was called "Discovering Psychology" that is required in that class.
@@NicolesVlogs Got it, thanks!
lol girl we got fooled by "Canada's Top University"
high school stuff is nowhere near to what you can apply in real....so not sure if thats what you call stable 😅

What college are you apart of at UFT?

NicolesVlogs Cool! I’m in the right grade trying to enter Victoria so I can study engineering 😂
Hey does life science have a lot of physics mandatory courses ? Or is it mostly chem bio math
it depends on the program you want to apply for so check the prereqs youll need to take during first year in the arts and science calendar :)
Where are you from guy?
i'm Korean-Canadian!
Hi I have a questionnnn so if I’m thinking of going into Psychology at UofT and u know it requires grade 12 or above bio and calc, but you didn’t take those classes during your senior year, can you still get into the program during your second year by taking those classes your first year?
Hey, I'm not entirely sure about this. I think that to get into Psych, you just need to take PSY100 in your first year so I feel like it's possible to still apply for the program as long as you're in the Arts and Science faculty. (not 100% sure though, I recommend reaching out to UofT about this!)
Do u think it is necessary to learn university courses/concepts ahead of time in high school or the summer before uni starts? (Especially referring to math/physics/chemistry/biology?) If so, what are some good resources to pre-learn u of t first year courses?
hmm honestly I didn't do any preparation additionally to what I learned in high school and it wasn't like TOO bad, but it DEFINITELY would help with dealing with the workload. Even just knowing what you learned in grade 12 really really well, reviewing it, understanding it perfectly can be really helpful because often times I found that I got stuck on things that I had just skimmed over in high school that I didn't bother to fully understand. though I don't think its like mandatory to do this prep (as I didn't haha) it doesn't hurt to be more prepared. I don't really know any resources particularly for uoft courses sorryyy maybe check reddit lol
omg I related so much about the first midterm! my first midterm was a calc midterm and I stressed so much about it...and afterwards I was like that was not that bad? lol
llae xx right!!! Hahah

Hey did u apply to any programs in McMaster? How was the whole supplementary application process and why did u end up choosing UofT in the end? Love your videos btw!!
Hi there! soo I actually only applied to schools in Toronto because I knew beforehand that I was going to be living in Toronto. For UofT there is an awards/scholarship application online but it's not really a supp app because for Life Sci they only look at the grades for acceptance. I partially actually chose UofT because my parents wanted me to stay in Toronto haha but I'm glad I did because I love the city, and I also liked that UofT life sci program was really broad. Thank you for watching! Best of Luck for everything :))
Are you chinese or korean?
I'm Korean! :)
Your chubby face is very cute
UofT first year, ah yes, terribly boring and over rated academics.
