<p>I'm thinking of applying to U of T next year (I live in the US) mostly because I love the city and it has a wide range of courses available, but I've heard that it doesn't have very good professors. Is this true? Can current students give me some insight on this?</p>
<p>has anybody even heard anything about u of t professors? anything at all?</p>
<p>I don't know where you heard that from but almost every professor here is enthusiastic about what they teach and communicates really well with students. The reason you might have heard bad things is that since U of T is so large, it makes first year pretty difficult so professors might have difficult tests/exams. And another bad thing is that you can't get to know the professors in your first year (no shot at all) but this is true for many many universities.</p>
<p>gub, U of T probably has around 2,000 professors. You've heard that all of them are bad? That's a pretty silly thing to believe. Even if it were somehow possibly true, how on earth would any single person know? :) There are many fabulous professors at U of T, in every faculty, so I wouldn't worry too much on this issue if I were you. My D has had no difficulty interacting and getting to know her profs in her first two years there. Every prof has office hours and email, and they're happy to hear from their students.</p>
<p>U of T has what is called the "Anti Calendar." Their "Calendar" is basically the bible of course and program offerings for the academic year. The "Anti" is the comprehensive *** student *** assessment of the teachers and courses that taught and teach them. My D, in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, used both extensively in choosing her first-year courses last month.</p>
