University Decisions for Classics
Hello everyone!
I'm not super active here on reddit but I've been having a crisis about my university decisions lately and wanted some feedback from hopefully people that have first hand experience or opinions!!
I am graduating next month, and I got into all of my university options: UofT St. G, UofG, Western, MacMaster, and Brock. I applied to humanities (but more specifically classics). I unfortunately had to rule out Western, Brock, and MacMaster because while my parents said its okay to do residency, we aren't super financially stable for that. That leaves me with UofT and UofG, but I am so stuck on choosing between the two.
I am about 40 minutes from UofG, so I would drive to campus for school. I toured the campus and didn't mind it, talked to the lady that runs my program and she was nice, but my program (classical and modern cultures) that I applied to just isn't exactly what I thought it would be since they didn't have classics and this was the next best alternative. Besides that downfall (which is a pretty big one since it has me doubting a lot lol), I dont mind Guelph, I've heard lots of good things about it.
As for UofT, I would drive to my nearest GO station and take a train to Union, and then take the TTC subway to the campus. This would obviously be a more demanding commute but I don't think it's something I couldn't handle. UofT did have the courses more closely related to what I wanted and the campus is pretty, but I am really worried about it being very academically demanding. I am a good student with good marks, but I don't know how much I could handle lol. I spoke to a friend that goes to UofT for history, so closely related to what I am doing, and she loves it but I feel like she is more academic than me (she also took AP classes unlike me).
Overall, I would say I am more drawn to UofT but at the same time I don't want to sacrifice my grades just because of that.
This dilemma is leaving me so stressed especially with the upcoming due date for acceptance!! I apologize if this was written poorly I tried to whip this up quickly haha, if anyone has ANYTHING at all they could say, I would greatly appreciate it, thank you :)
