r/UofT

I have a confession to make. I haven’t spoken to a woman in 4 years. Not family members or people who have to talk to you because it’s their job, but women in classes or like casually approaching someone. I did do it a couple times as a freshman, and made a couple friends but haven’t spoken to them since. Now that I’m about to graduate I feel like I’ve missed out on a lot.

I also have bad social anxiety and low self esteem which doesn’t help either. This has taken a toll on my mental health and affected every area of my life, grades, friendships and even physically. My gpa is a 1.9, barely enough to graduate. I cut off all my friends. And i developed an eating disorder and became fat as well. I tried going to the gym but due to the unhealthy diet I didn’t see any progress.

I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m going to be jobless after graduation as well. I’m at my lowest point right now. I just eat unhealthy food and sit in my room all day. I dont even want to leave my house because im so fat and unattractive. I don’t want to do this anymore. I need some real advice.

Also forgive me for my username, that is not me anymore. My hormones have tanked after becoming fat. I would change my username to unhappy man if I could.

Is it not enough that I have to face the terrifying, dreadful, and depressing reality that I'm entering my fourth and likely final year. 400 level classes are so tiny and fill up so fast. Why.

Looking for course recs for next term. I've done ECO326 (game theory) and I'm currently in ECO316 and ECO375, so I'm decently comfortable with the math/stats side of things. Also considering ECO310 and ECO359.

I keep seeing "easiest" lists that are mostly reading/essay courses (econ history, law & econ, etc.), but those aren't really my thing, I'd rather take something with real content that I'll actually enjoy, and that doesn't destroy my average in the process.

So: what ECO electives did you take where you genuinely liked the material AND found the workload/grading manageable? Bonus points if you remember which prof made it that way (curious how much of "easy" comes down to the instructor vs. the course itself).

Edit: I have also take ECO372 and ECO374 and i really enjoyed those courses.

i got into daniels architecture for this year but now i dont really think i wanna do it anymore, so how hard is it to transfer to finance and how long would it take to transfer faculties? also would it be possible to transfer to engineering or accounting or something similar? i think you can tell i have no idea what i wanna do 😂

grades shouldn't be an issue too much i got perfect grades in hs so i think i'll survive at least first year

Course selection is coming up soon and I feel lost. Any recs for classes?

I want to
major in molecular genetics and microbiology
minor in cell and molecular biology
minor in French?

Thanks!

Just crowdsourcing. I am an international student and I am about to start my semester at the University of Toronto. In my country whether it’s public or private, high schools, colleges and universities have their school uniforms and students are required to wear them everyday to represent their institution/school they are studying from.

It just makes me wonder if people in Toronto/Ontario will find me “Weird” “Cocky” if I am going to wear a polo, t-shirt and/or a jacket with a UofT logo embroidered in it. It’s just that, I feel proud I am going to study in one of the most internationally recognized institution.

Thank you.

course enrollment starts TOMORROW for me. how am i supposed to pick electives without knowing which evil prof is teaching them lol

hey everyone ! I'm starting at UofT in the fall and I have been seeing so many different frosh parties and people selling tickets. I've enrolled in my vic college orientation but my question is are the frosh party tickets worth buying? And which ones do I even get because I've seen at least 4 different parties and would prefer not to be scammed!!

Mainly for transportation and food? Most I see are only for fall/winter. Thanks!

Hey guys. I’m currently entering into my 2nd year in the fall, and now I’m a biology major without having taken the first year courses (🫩).

For anyone who has experience, would you recommend I take the CHM135 + CHM136 combo or just the CHM151?

I’m asking based on whether or not you actually felt like you learned the material in a real way rather than if it will tank my GPA because I know it probably will either way. I really just value if it felt like a learning experience.

Thankssss

The University of Toronto except every computer science specialist student spends four years studying so that they can get admitted to the University of Toronto computer science specialist program
