  • Why did I not choose a top tier University like UToronto or Waterloo? I answer many questions that I asked when applying for University. Also, I give my perspective on why Ontariotech was the best option for me.

    • @OsamaBaig
      @OsamaBaig  4 місяці тому

      Personally I've heard good things, however you've got to do some research on whether graduates from the commerce program have success in terms of co-op's and early careers. I know for commerce, there is a huge emphasis on networking and developing those soft skills. Ontariotech is known more for their Engineering programs rather than business. I would strongly recommend doing research on York or Western University since those are definitely well known

Found that most of my profs don't really care about teaching, that the student experience is non-existent and extracurriculars are severely limited. In addition, as a commuter school there is next to no campus atmosphere and the schools attempts to generate any sort of environment comes off as extremely artificial and fake as a result.
      You essentially go to class and go home. That's it, for 200 days a year, for 4 years.

      @@leftenantthunder Your response is really well worded. I agree with you, You really have to go out of your way to have a University experience at Ontario tech. However there are limitless opportunities to get involved with clubs/organizations.
      This is how life is in general, especially after you start working 9-5. You will have to put in the effort and can't always depend on opportunities knocking at your doorstep. School's like Ontariotech don't have the benefit of traditions & developed organizations which have been developing resources for the past 100 years.
      Its a new University and takes a lot more initiative and effort to get these things off the ground. Personally, I had a great experience because I put in that extra effort to run for elections, take part in clubs/societies, attend conferences and catch every opportunity to get involved somehow and have fun along the way. On top of this I had an exceptional time with Co-op's and internships. If you are a self motivated individual, this University is for you.
