Bonjour amigos! My name is Brandon, a student at the University of Toronto Scarborough studying neuroscience and immunology. These two DISTINCT majors are under the big umbrella of life sciences. So here it is: the facts and figures of UTSC life sci, short and sweet. UofT has 3 campuses, all equal in academic rating. Lots of UTSC students go to St George for certain courses and vice versa.
Pros and Cons of UTSC
+ smaller campus means...
more meaningful relationships
better chances of getting opportunities
better relationships with profs/peers
+ collaborative environment, everyone helps each other out
+/- lots of foxes, deer, beavers (if you like those critters)
- limited course option compared to St. G (but you can take courses downtown)
- outside of campus is kinda dead
Pros and Cons of UTSC Life Sciences
+ smaller class sizes
+ better able to interact with professors
+/- very environmentally focused campus
- lots of general sciences in first year
- limited program options
- limited course options
