    This was super helpful thank you!! I just got my transfer acceptance to U of T and am currently at a small school so knowing that they do have similar resources still open to students at a much bigger school is definitley going to help in decision making.

    thank you so much for this video! all the information was super helpful and I really appreciate your positive attitude because it’s so stressful constantly seeing everyone complaining about how depressing uoft is.
    I was also hoping if you could answer a question of mine! can a utm student access all the clubs and resources mentioned or are they only for st. george students?

      I believe they can! For example, as a UTSG student I know I'm able to book tennis courts at UTM, so I believe that it would go both ways for resources in general!

    Im trying to decide between UNC- chapel hill, McGill & UfT for Life Sciences.
    At McGill, I was accepted both at the downtown campus in BSc Bio, Biomed, Life Sci & at Macdonald Campus BSc Ag/Enviro, where I can also study life sciences. caveat: I would have to go to Mac campus because I can’t afford the downtown program - which I don’t really mind because there are pros & cons to each campus and I’d move downtown then shuttle btwn campuses my second yr.
    Ultimately, I want to focus on biochemistry with an environmental undertone & minor in Poli Sci.
    Does anyone have advice on which school to choose?
