Research powerhouse. Quality of faculty. Location. High probability of practical experience through university facilitated internships.
Course Curriculum
First-year courses were extremely difficult. Idea is to filter out students not competent.
Faculty
The ratio is somewhere around 10:1 for engineering (don't quote me on this). There exist two ends of the spectrum when it comes to professors. There are those that memorize each student's names in a class of 100. And some who walk in teach and walk out without further ado.
Part Time Jobs
Next year.
Placement
I hear they are exceptional. A UofT degree is the most coveted across Canada.
Accommodation
Yes. Chestnut residence. Luxurious living space. Food is a bust.
Exams
Filling an engineering portfolio. Transcripts of high school, resume, etc. could be uploaded. No LORs required. Asynchronous video interview answering critical thinking questions. Good grades translate to a greater chance of admission. Good grades along with extracurriculars translate to a greater chance of scholarship upon admission.
Events
Great!
Scholarship
Engineering admission scholarship. Amount up to CAD 10000. No application process.
