I'm currently in the Physics Specialist program here at UofT and I'd say that the rumors are exaggerated... I'm FAR from the best among my class and I can still pull off As and A+s in most of my physics courses. Solid stats: -Within the physics department, course averages tend to hover in...

I don't know, I never really thought about it and the idea of doing a PhD never really appealed to me that much. Though I am starting to consider it, lol... I went into my first year only planning to do PHY131 as a fun elective since I liked doing physics in high school, then I added PHY132 for...

Yes, I am in the Physics Specialist program. Haha my identity is like completely blown, I'm the only 3rd/4th year in the building in my program :o Very happy with UofT. No idea what I want to do after I graduate, hoping to figure that out by the end of this summer. Graduate school is an...

I'm also at Innis :) Though I'm going into my third year That's BS.

You went through 2 years of engineering without knowing how to calculate your GPA?

Innis is more academically focused? Don't know about that (though most of the #1 EngSci students live at Innis... er yes. you guys are ranked)... but it's more for the social aspect. Innis is fun :)

Choice of residence is really subjective, I live at Innis and like it a lot so yeah... And every program will have people that say it's nasty... personally I find it very manageable. The hardest course over the first two years (regardless of which program you pick) will probably be the second...

Innis > New Sorry.

I took MAT137+MAT237 and not MAT157+MAT257, so I can't personally comment - but the people I have talked to who have taken MAT257 said that it's a lot more difficult than MAT157 (generally true when jumping from single to multi-variable calculus). Professor Rotman was supposedly quite easy on them.

Hey, I'm doing the Physics Specialist here and I just came out of second year. And I was probably in your class as I took MAT247 for fun just this semester with Professor Choi. I'd recommend taking MAT257 and MAT267 for second year, and deciding afterwards. Note that you can drop down to...

I've been well exposed to Engineering Science students at my residence, about 30% of the students here are engineers and most of them are in EngSci. It's a great program and it's not behind on the practical aspect as well (there's the famous bridge project in first semester, Praxis presentation...

QQ You aren't the only person who has to take a few courses that he/she has no interest in. You made your choices, other people made theirs. And yeah... the reason for your marks is totally the instructor's fault. [/sarcasm] No one is entitled to anything. You "sacrificed As to get laid"...

Yeah... that was me when I first started out in university. Now, I want money.

The fact that you don't want to rip your body apart by trying.
