The main factor that made me choose UofT was because I like Toronto very much. It's a great city that is very culturally diverse. UofT is also downtown which makes it so interesting as there are always so many events even off-campus.
Course Curriculum
The course curriculum and academics are nice. They are up to date and many classes try to talk about global issues that can benefit us, students.
Faculty
The faculty is alright. The faculty to student ratio is 1:000 in the first two years which isn't that great since it is hard to have a personal connection with professors. But I believe in upper years class sizes reduce to around 300-500.
Placement
I'm not sure but I have heard from older students that students from UofT usually get good jobs in big firms and companies.
Accommodation
No, I live at home with my parents as they moved to Toronto when I moved for my undergraduate studies.
Exams
I had to submit my CV and school grades. I didn't have to submit any letters of reference nor a statement of purpose. Yes, I had one interview but no tests. For the interview, I prepared in advance and thought of questions the admissions officer may ask me. I spoke about my interests and why I was keen on studying Life Sciences.
Events
The infrastructure at UofT is very modern. Libraries are spacious and there is a good WiFi connection. There are many events and clubs on the campus that students can join especially international students. For example, there is a specific Chinese club and an Indian Student. A union so these students can feel at home.
