Incoming first year here

I'm in Commerce, registered with Woodsworth, but I'm gonna be living in Trinity residence.

I'm kinda confused about orientation. Trinity emailed us saying if you're living there but registered with another college, you should still go to your own college/faculty orientation, but they also offer a "Residence Only Student Orientation Package" to join some of their events, would I be able to register for both this and Woodsworth orientation?

Since I'll be living at Trinity, I feel like it'd make more sense to meet the people I'll be living with. But at the same time I'm officially a Woodsworth student, so I don't wanna miss out if that's where everyone meets people. Also, I'll only be a Trinity for 1 year whereas I'll be with Woodsworth for 4.

If anyone's been in this situation? Did you make most of your friends through residence, your college, or your program? Which orientation would you recommend me to go to?

My college for the program is woodsworth, but my residence will be at trinity. Would I have to attend the woodsworth one or can I do the trinity one? I heard people make more friends from their residences, but I'll only be living their for a year, whereas I'll be at woodsworth for 4. Does anyone have any advice on which orientation I should go to?

im currently waitlisted #2 for one of the timeslots, should i try waiting or take it in winter instead?

waitlist position will be 14 and 19 for two timeslots, is the chance of getting in high?

I heard from someone that enrolling in courses outside of required courses in program will be done on a later date? Can someone verify if this is true?

I wan to pursue a cs minor, but that would require both of my year 1 electives (csc148, csc165) to be breadth 5, which is not one of the missing 1 and 4 from rotman courses.

My girlfriend(f18) and I(m18) have been together for about 5 months. I have never met anyone like her and she truely is the best I could ever ask for. It was great at the beginning, and then I feel like I've disappointed her multiple times and couldn't live up to her expectations. I really am trying to change and improve myself now but I don't think there is enough time. She is already questioning why she even likes me, and I know a breakup is about to happen soon.

​

She really is the most perfect in every aspect and I love her so much, and I hate myself for not being good enough to make her stay. The thought that I just lost the most precious part of my life because of my incompetence just makes me want to disappear. If I became better sooner maybe she wouldn't slip away like this.

I got assigned to Woodsworth for my program, but I'll be living at Trinity.

What exactly will I do at Woodsworth? Where will I mostly spend my time in? What stuff goes through each college?

Just kind of confused on how this whole college thing works, has anyone else had this happen?

How is trinity? Will I be missing out on a lot? My college for rotman is woodsworth but res is at trinity so I'm wondering how this would work.

Is it possible to get into other colleges from the waitlist after getting selected from trinity?

Is it too late to apply to trinity one program? What will I be missing out on?

What did you guys do in your furst year summer? Or what would you guys recommend doing?

I heard some people took courses such as ECO, did yall only take that 1 course or had others too?

Do people generally go for interns in first year? If so, how did you go about landing it?

Or just take it easy in first year and go around and have fun?

We will be going to different universities which are 2 hours 30 mins away by car. This scares me a lot because we'd be missing out on the happy daily uni life together. This will sound really corny but I really love her and want to be with her forever. She's really the most perfect girl I've ever met. And I am absolutely terrified of losing her. I have to admit that I've become extremely attached to her, and she's the reason I have motivation to do anything. I'm also afraid that the regrets and "what if" thoughts would haunt me forever.

I want to drive to her every weekend but I'm worried it still wont be enough, or if uni makes us too busy for that. I know theres sayings like "If you cant make it through this then it just wasnt meant to be", but long distance really is very hard for both of us, and 4 years is a really long time.

Has anyone gone through this? I want to hear your stories, and I also have a few specific questions.

1. How long have you two been together before seperating for uni?

2. What was the hardest part of this?

3. What advice would you give?

4. How long apart were you, and how often did you meet up?

5. How likely is it to become insecure?

I am coming to rotman commerce this fall, and I'm planning on pursuing a CS minor.

For course selections in first year, I'll be taking CSC148 and CSC165/​CSC240. Does anyone know what the difference between CSC165/​ CSC240 is, and which one would be better to take? Also, I've heard that MAT137 fundamental for CS. If I take MAT137 instead of MAT133, would I be missing out on necessary knowledge for commerce?

Is/has anyone tried to go with the CS minor route before? What was your experience like and how did it go for you?

Also, how's the year workload in general? Would I have spare time to network/socialize(living off campus) and also to go back home during the weekends(2.5 hour drive)?

I just found out you had to apply to residence before March, so now I'm just on the waitist. Would it be hard to make friends/network if I'm living nearby off residence in an apartment?

So I just accepted my offer for rotman commerce. When I applied on ouac, I picked woodsworth, and on the offer page it said "You have been admitted to Studies in Rotman Commerce at the Faculty of Arts and Science with membership in Woodsworth College for Fall 2026."

but now I just found out you have to do a separate residence application by March? On starrez housing? Does anyone know what the chances are of getting in residence past this deadline?

I'm a Grade 12 student who's starting university in a few months, and I honestly don't think I'm mentally prepared for it.

One of my biggest issues is that I get lonely very easily. Even something as simple as being home alone in complete silence can make me anxious and sometimes panic. I've always struggled with feeling isolated.

Right now I have two university offers. One is objectively the better program, but it would require me to live alone in a condo off campus. The other isn't as strong academically, but I'd be living in residence with a friend, which honestly sounds a lot safer for my mental health.

Another thing that's been weighing on me is that my girlfriend and I won't be attending the same university. She's probably the most important person in my life. Before I met her, I was in a really bad place mentally. She gave me something to look forward to every day, helped me stay motivated, and even helped raise my average by around 7%.

The problem is that I think I've become emotionally dependent on her. My entire life started to revolve around her.

I'm terrified that if the distance becomes too much, or if we eventually break up, I'll fall into a severe depression, lose all motivation, and struggle to function academically. I know people say you shouldn't build your life around one person, but that's exactly what I've done, and now don't know what to do.

How can I bring myself together? Has anyone else gone through something similar before starting university? How did you learn to become more independent emotionally?

I was always an engineering focused student, but I am now considering rotman. What skills would you need to excel? Do you need to be very outgoing and network a lot? I'm sort of an awkward introvert. Also would you need to memorize a lot of things? I can do well in things like physics and chemistry, but I'm not sure about in business.
