<p>I have just been accepted into the Humanities program at UToronto, and I found some odd info. on princetonreview. Is this true?</p>
<p>Test</a> Prep: GMAT, GRE, LSAT, MCAT, SAT, ACT, and More</p>
<p>U of T is my top choice thus far, but I've never visited. I will at the end of the month, though. I just want to know how accurate these rankings are.</p>
<p>The link’s heading looks odd, but it redirects to the right site. That’s just the subtitle of princetonreview.com.</p>
<p>For those who don’t have a Princetonreview account, here are the rankings:</p>
<h1>17 Least Happy Students</h1>
<h1>14 Professors Get Low Marks</h1>
<h1>1 Least Accessible Professors</h1>
<h1>4 Class Discussions Rare</h1>
<p>Those rankings sound pretty consistent with the testimonials I’ve heard from students. Classes can be 1000+ students, so you usually just feel like a number.</p>
<p>Three of my Ds have attended U of T. One is in law school, one in grad school, and one headed to med school. They’ve all enjoyed their time there and have received an excellent undergrad education. They never had an issue with professors being inaccessible, nor were any of them ever in a class that had anywhere near 1000 students, let alone more than 1000! </p>
<p>U of T is an excellent university, as I’ve said before, for those students who are independent, hard workers who don’t need to be coddled and have their hands held. There is a tremendous variety of course offerings available, excellent professors, a wonderful library system, and a diverse student body. It isn’t the right place for everyone, but there are certainly many happy students there.</p>
<p>I like UofT, I’ve enjoyed my time here so far. Almost all professors are accessible. MOST have actual office hours and if you have 2+ hour lectures the profs usually give you a 10 minute break in between and allow students to ask questions. I know some courses the professor would stay after class for 20 minutes or so answering questions. In first year lectures class discussion is unlikely… unless you’re in a first-year seminar or something. All the tutorials I’ve had though have had class discussions and it can sometimes get pretty heated… it’s a good school, the only issues you might want to consider is that you’ll always just be a number at UofT and nothing more until grad school, and you’ll have to deal with major grade deflation. If you want to go to a top grad school in the states and not completely bust your balls and crash, then UofT may not be the school for you as getting a 3.8/3.9 GPA is extremely difficult unless you structure your course load so you have the easiest classes. A 2.0 GPA at UofT is pretty much the equivalent of a 4.0 at York.</p>
