Hi Aska,
I was trying to contact the Economics Study Centre at the downtown campus, and sent them an e-mail last week, but no one has gotten back to me. I was hoping you knew of this service, and whether UTM and UTSC students could access it, or if it’s exclusive to UTSG students.
Have a great weekend.

hey there,
great question! the economics study centre is really *intended* for downtown students, unfortunately. it’s also kind of centred around the specific course material in the downtown courses, so it probably wouldn’t be much use to you anyway. AND it’d be such a hassle coming all the way down here and taking the train and the subway and…ugh. just not worth your time, man.
there doesn’t seem to be an equivalent resource at utm and utsc (which is a real shame, sorry about that, really), so take as much advantage of what you do have available as possible. talk to your ta/prof about possibly setting up study sessions or meeting with you to talk over any questions you may have. go to their office hours and ask questions as often as possible. in one of my calculus classes last year, i went to the prof’s office hours every. single. week. to go over all my questions from lecture and the week’s work. it really worked out great for me, and i’d recommend you do the same!
i know it’s hard to work one-on-one help with instructors into your already hectic schedule, but just think about it this way – it would probably take just as much, if not more, time to come all the way downtown to the study centre here.
best,
aska
