OThopeful18 Posted February 20, 2018 Report Share Posted February 20, 2018 Did anyone else receive an email asking to fill out a survey about U of T's campus preferences? Would anyone be able to give info on both campuses? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWUQ Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Which campus are you guys choosing or are you putting no preference? Living in downtown would be nice but I would save so much money if I chose the Mississauga campus lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OThopeful18 Posted February 22, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 I'm leaning towards DT campus since the OT program has been operated from there for decades. I feel uncomfortable being the first timer at the Mississauga campus. Although, I would be happy to get into any OT program in Canada. I am a BC resident and I would love to know more info on both campuses to make a final decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewbieOT Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 I chose Toronto, the main reason being that I've always lived in a small town and am dying to live in T.O. (although I know Mississauga also has a lot to offer). I agree with @OThopeful18, I'm not sure how I feel about being a part of the first class and working out all of the (possible) issues. However I also agree with @MWUQ - cost of living is probably much cheaper in Mississauga. Ultimately I think it's a personal preference and a matter of weighing the pro's and con's. I've had a number of friends live in Toronto for various reasons and they found it to be pretty isolating at times, due to a lack of community feeling. I also have friends living in Mississauga who are eager to move out, because although it's a big city and part of the GTA, they feel it lacks that "city vibe" and is too suburban. Ultimately I'll be stoked if I get in anywhere, fingers are crossed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kine1379 Posted February 23, 2018 Report Share Posted February 23, 2018 I would recommend Mississauga because the cost of living is so much cheaper than downtown. Class sizes are a bit smaller meaning you will have more 1 on 1 with profs. I agree that Toronto lacks the community feel. I would choose Mississauga 100% even though its not as vibrant as DT, downtown is so easily accessible by transit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciders_only Posted March 11, 2018 Report Share Posted March 11, 2018 I graduated from UTM and was looking forward to studying downtown, but I think I might just choose Mississauga. Working downtown full-time since graduating has made me miss being at UTM. I'm well accustomed to the campus, and I'd have no problems navigating the services there, having spent 3 years there. Plus I'm a 30 minute bus ride away from UTM, and not being in Toronto all the time will help prevent me from wandering into new restaurants/bars - which my wallet will greatly appreciate too. Besides, I hope to do a PhD in the future. So I'm hoping to eventually study downtown, unless they move the PhD Rehab program to UTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
