high gpa vs. happiness — who will win?!

Hi,

So I’m having trouble deciding which campus is the best. I plan to do a double major in political science and history, and I’ve heard that maintaining a higher GPA at the Mississauga is a lot more likely as opposed to the St. George Campus. I just wanted to know if this is a myth or if there’s some truth to it?

Thank you!

Hey hey!

For the sake of being politically correct, I will first answer you with this: maintaining a GPA, regardless of your campus, is all based on your own hard work. There are people at both campuses rocking 4.0s because they study and they go to lecture and they don’t procrastinate. Likewise, there are those jerks that can get that 4.0 without doing those things. But you’re always offered a ton of services to help you out, so take advantage of those.

Really, your GPA isn’t based on your campus, it’s based on you. Yes, I know, that sounded weirdly disgustingly spiritual.

But personally, coming from the me that doesn’t fear the administrative hawks that might be reading this post, I say if you want to leave your undergrad with a high GPA, don’t go to St. George unless you think you can handle its difficulty. I mean, it’s not that hard as long as you make a valiant effort… but to get something really good will also require you handing over your soul and any hopes for happiness, to put it lightly.

Hope that helped! 😉
