Happy autumn everyone! My name is Molly, and today I'm going to tell you all about our
upcoming Fall Campus Day at University
of Toronto Mississauga, so be sure to read on to get all the details on
what Fall Campus Day is and how you can attend!
First things first though, I will introduce myself! I
am currently a third-year student
specializing in Biology here at UTM and a Student Ambassador for UTM’s Office of Admissions and Recruitment.
I was born and raised in British Columbia, but attended school in the US for
many years before I found my home in Mississauga at UTM. So, if you’re a
student in the US and are interested in attending school in Canada, you should
definitely talk to me about it!
School work is always a priority, but when I’m
not studying, you’ll find me cooking up all sorts of things in the kitchen—most
often, I’m trying to replicate my favorite Chinese dishes that my mom and
grandma made for me when I was a child. I also like to reward myself after lots
of studying with a trip to the mall! Right now, my efforts in school are split
between getting good grades and figuring out what career path I want to follow.
I still have a lot of thinking to do, but I do know that I am really interested
in Genetics and may want to pursue Genetic Counseling after I graduate.
Just as many students spend a lot of time during
university thinking about what they want to do after they graduate, you are
probably spending a lot of time thinking about which school you should attend
and whether or not you will like being there. That is why you should come to
our Fall Campus Day on October 27!
Fall Campus Day is an open house where you
and your family and friends can come to the U of T Mississauga campus and
get to know the school, the programs we offer, and receive more information on
how to apply to UTM.
This is a great opportunity for all prospective
students because representatives from every academic department we have will be
there, as well as our student services departments such as Admissions, Financial Aid & Scholarships, Residence, and much more. You will get the chance to talk to professors who are
currently teaching courses at UTM and
meet students who can share their experiences with you! If you have any
questions about the application process during your visit, we can answer that
as well! Our open house will run from 11
a.m. to 4 p.m., and we will be having sessions throughout the day for the
different academic programs that you might be interested in. Be sure to register here http://www.utm.utoronto.ca/fall-campus-day so
that we know you’re coming and make sure to read the webpage so you don’t miss
out on any important details!
As a student who was in your shoes, I would
definitely recommend that you attend our Fall Campus Day because it will give
you an idea of the environment you will be in for the next couple of years. The most important thing about the school
you choose for yourself is that YOU have to feel comfortable with it! By
walking around our campus and talking to other students and staff that spend
every day here at UTM, you’ll be able to get a feel of whether or not it’s the
right school for you. We will also be offering tours all day, so be sure to
join a session—you might even see me! Save the date: October 27,
2013, and I promise you won’t regret it!
I hope that I will be seeing you at our Fall Campus
Day. Enjoy the rest of your year, and talk to you soon!
