Some universities now have a fall reading week, either in October or November to give their students a breather.
The main problem with U of T is that you can feel lost with the school being so big. You don't really get to know your profs, and your profs don't really know you unless you're in a small program. My experience at U of T was just average, but it also could have been because i was a commuter student.
Many friends who went to Waterloo had great experiences and easily found a job after graduation. While Waterloo may not have as much international recognition compared to Toronto, it is highly regarded by tech companies in the US.
Unless our kids get accepted into a top US school, we want our kids to go to a Canadian school for undergrad.
