University of Toronto Ultimate Student Guide Part One
University was an exciting and stressful time for me! As a first-generation student, I was confused and overwhelmed with the university application process. I had little guidance and was unsure what to do next. But I made it and I am now working in the pharmaceutical industry! Reflecting back on my experience, it was hard to stay organized and not feel overwhelmed. Therefore, I decided to create the ultimate student guide for University of Toronto students to capture all the great resources at uToronto.
To help others, I decided to create university guides for the top universities in Canada. If you found this guide helpful, please share this with your friends and family. My goal is to create a central hub of the top resources to make it easier for students.
There will be a part two which will cover resources for mental health, housing, scholarships, transportation, student discount and more. Stay tuned!
