    First email:

    Hi, this is my second year in UofT but i had dropped out first year, first because i had family matters to look after and second Iam glad becuase Iam pretty sure that i would’v failed every class i had taken. Iam not sure what program of study i should go into i have no paticular interest and everyone i ask for her help tells me to go into whatever m interested in.
    ?
    i was thinking of doing B.com but iam not a big fan of math and don’t know anything about calc. then i thought of criminology but they have a 2.50 avg req which i doubt i can get then i thought bout english but al the courses have so many essays and writting asigments.Also everything is so hard therefore i was wondering if u can offer any advice i want to do something that I can make a career out of in the future. Please help on what you think i should do becuase m pretty sure m not the first person to be lost although Iam going to go insane.

    Hi aska,
    I’m a newly admitted life science student. I wanted to take a humanities seminar course, but my first choice (Shocking Artists, Shocking Art) was already full. I’m left with two options: Telling Lies With Maps or Classics of the Italian Cinema. Can you tell me what you know about both courses, and the professors teaching them?
    thanks

    i love libraries?

    My friend and I are looking for some study space, something with a WINDOW where we can talk, good lighting, that’s kind of secluded, with a desk and a table, and possibly comfy chairs.
    Does such a place exist?
    We’ve looked into Hart House, the Map Room, but the chairs were too comfortable. Can you recommend some nice study space that isn’t too prison-like? (WINDOWS PLEASE!)

    Is there any place on the St. George campus that provides a piano for any student to play? I’m not a student of the faculty of music, nor am I living in any on-campus residence, where there are music practise rooms for residences. I just want to play the piano when I have spare time on the campus. Do you have any suggestion?
    Thank you!!!
