It was the week before F!rosh week, and I remember the shiver of awe that rolled down my spine the very first time I set foot on the University of Toronto’s campus. The vibrant green lawns, the old but majestic buildings that covered all of campus, the faces of accomplished alumni more »
In grade 8, I hated math and science. I really did, even though I was pretty good at these subjects. I mean, who in grade 8 wouldn’t be good at a subject they just copied off the smartest kid in class, right? I admit it. I didn’t do well in school, but more »
Finals are quickly approaching. Which means instead of studying, I offer you a first-year engineering student’s perspective on her first semester at U of T. Even though it doesn’t quite feel like it, it’s been (nearly) three months since I walked through the doors to my dorm, put down my more »
Grad school applications are looming over my head and I am in an uncomfortable position. I am just beginning to realise that this safe and secure world of “School”, of which I have been a part for 16 years, is drawing to a close. It is the end of an more »

What made you choose your discipline? I like Mech things, always had a dream to design roller coasters and Mech is the main thing that would allow that. What do you think about your discipline now? 2nd year, first semester is rather unfocused on the mechanical side of things, so more »
What made you choose your discipline? I’ve always had a fascination with the small structures of matter and how it affects a substance macroscopically, and I was told that the program is fairly broad which also worked for me since I had a hard time choosing out of TrackOne. What more »
What made you choose your discipline? After attending the discipline info sessions I decided on INDY because it was the only program that combined my interest in both engineering and business. The reason I wanted to do engineering is not to be a technical person but rather a problem solver, more »
What made you choose your discipline? ECE was very enticing to me because the discipline lends itself to “creating things” quickly and at little cost – be it through coding software, or putting together circuits on a breadboard. I really enjoyed the feeling of accomplishment that I had when finishing more »
