How hard does the work tend to be?

<p>how much time do most students spend in class and studying each day?</p>

<p>I think you'll find that if you speak to U of T students who are doing well, you'll find that they do, indeed, work hard. U of T may sound easy to get into for students who are accustomed to the U.S. system of stats related admissions but what most U of T students find is that it is a school where it is difficult to do well if you're not willing to work hard.</p>

<p>My D3 is at U of T, and from what we've seen, academically it is more challenging than it was for her two older sisters who went/go to Princeton and NYU. It's often said about U of T that 'it's easy to get in, but not so easy to STAY in'. :)</p>

<p>My D is double majoring and it's generally understood that it's expected that you spend a minimum of an equal number of hours outside class, as you do IN class, each week. This obviously would increase in heavy 'push' periods, when several papers would be due, or when you're studying for mid-terms or finals.</p>

<p>could you compare it to an academic reputation of another school,
like berkeley or someting?</p>

<p>i live in california, and i always hear stuff about C students at berkeley are b students at stanford (since both are very hard schools, but berkeley gives u no direction from ur professors cause they are too busy.)</p>

<p>I have a friend in UPenn (I'm final year undergrad U of T) and our workload is comparable.</p>

<p>The average is a C-C+ generally.</p>

<p>One has to wonder why the averages are so low. In terms of difficulty how would it compare to a school such as McGill?</p>

<p>so how hard would it be to get say a 3.0?</p>

<p>Depends on so many factors: how smart you are, how hard you work, what courses you have, what professors you have, if you're working part time or not, etc.</p>

<p>not to be rude or anything
but DUH</p>
