Coming to Toronto for my study abroad year also as an English student so these videos are super helpful, thank you!

[@alessiabaps]

amazing!! hopefully you have a great time!

[@sulaiman3128]

I’ll be attending St. Mikes for Humanities next year, and your channel has been so helpful!

[@Traverse_Studios]

Which college does more partying??

[@miaking3710]

Do u know how normal classes are going to be in the fall? I’m so scared I’m going to miss out because of covid!

[@alessiabaps]

hey! I'm honestly not sure right now but as far as I know, UofT has sent out a letter saying they're looking to set us up in person again in September. I really hope this happens bc online is not a fun experience for anyone, and in person is just so fun

[@The2cutetweens]

I got accepted into life sci at utsg and I’m excited but TERRIFIED. Do u know if life s I first year was really difficult to keep up good grades? Thanks for the video btw it helped ALOT!

[@alessiabaps]

congrats on your acceptance! it's a tough program but if you put in the time and utilize office hours you'll be great :)

[@zhengyang9614]

I am a first year kin student, and now I am terrified for the idea that we might have classea in person for fall... After I finally manage to do online courses, now I need another strategy to do in person classes. And plus the fact that I have never been to toronto.😥 my second year is gonna be double the difficulty, and I am watching literally every video on how to survive the first year in u of t.

[@alessiabaps]

you're gonna be great!

[@moniquenaeini2652]

Do you know anything about the UTM Management program? Is it difficult to get accepted to post?

[@alessiabaps]

hey! I only know about the St. George campus because that's where I go, sorry :(

[@faridaelgharabawy4592]

Hello! Is it easy to get a scholarship there?

[@alessiabaps]

hey! I'm not too sure about that, but uoft does have scholarships to apply for so i'd recommend applying for scholarships you're eligible for!

[@alessiabaps]

joubs!

[@Mikedubois775]

Is it possible to work and be successful in class?

[@alessiabaps]

Hello! yes it is possible- I would say if you worked 1-2 shifts a week it is definitely manageable. I personally don't work more than 2 shifts a week cuz I get overwhelmed and there's less time for school and being social. UofT also offers work study programs where you can get a paid job on campus and they're very understanding with shifts and school. Hope that helps!

[@velmano9191]

As long as there is places like Harvard in this world, UofT will always be easy. I hate Harvard !!!!
